In the spring of last year, the brilliant Laura Smithers at @FosterTalk wrote up this piece, all about me, my values and my work.
It is one of my favourite features, I loved Laura's questions and style and hope you too enjoy reading our convo.

When I left Foster Care I was lucky enough to have Stay Put with my foster parents, until the age of 25. Without that, I don't know if I'd have made it to where I am today. Young people deserve more. #KeepCaringTo18 it's the least we should do.

Thank you ITV for highlighting the plight of Foster Carers. I am bursting with pride at seeing 2 of my Care Experienced boys appear on screen for me. Dave a much loved Foster Brother to so many children for 26 years and Marcus a young ‘Aspie’ who has survived so many dark days – at Yate, England
An exclusive survey for ITV News shows 70% of foster carers have considered giving up due to the squeeze on living standards.
In a special report, @lucywatsonitv heard from two dedicated carers who feel they cannot give any more:
