Recently I have had the misfourtne of smashing my iPhone screen,
for those with an iPhone you’ll understand how it feels. After
researching the best place to get it fixed I found myself at Apple

Biba and David said:
”After ten years of fostering, we can say with great confidence that Regional are an agency
who appreciate the real challenges foster carers and young people face day to day. They are

knowledgeable, decisive and approachable at every level”.
Selena and Dewayne said:

“The journey is one we shall not forget there’s been up and downs but it's a path we don't regret.
Hearts have been touched so much love to receive So many stories some u just won't believe.My
friends always ask me how do you do it, my response is with a little bit of patience, we all can do it! So
why not open the door to your home and share the key to your heart give a child a chance in life help

them make their future bright?”
Yvonne and Jason said:

“We are valued as carers and treated as professionals. We get support from our supervising social
worker who is very down to earth and easy to talk to. Someone is always there for you if you. We are
treated with respect. The whole team are knowledgeable down to earth and realistic. All of them are
approachable. We have regular support groups where carers have a chance to get together. Training is
offered and encouraged. We are very happy with the agency. We have been fostering several years and

can compare to other agencies and this is the best one we worked with”.

150 MILTARY VEHICLES

£27025 YEARS EXPERIENCE

CHECK OUT OUR TRIP ADVISOR FEEDBACK

The best fun I've had in absolutely years!
I took my two sons, aged 13 and 18 years old, for what I thought would be a fun birthday treat out for my youngest,
trying out driving tanks... that sort of thing. BUT, it was so much, much more than that! Right from the off, there was
energy, fun and excitement in the air... drivers are camou'd up, everyone is made to feel special and your day begins.
Hurtling around in monster tanks, up and down seriously deep ruts had me whooping with joy, and I couldn't wait to
see my sons faces - I was not disappointed.
And if that wasn't enough - they have an armoury too - where you get to strip down a gun and rebuild it - all
for fun! I found it an enormously bonding experience with my boys, a day full of memories (and pictures) that I
shall never forget.
If your question is "should I?", then the answer is an unequivocal "YES"!!!!
