Other Successes with fostering in Great Yarmouth
When Sarah and Mike from Great Yarmouth began fostering through Solace, they welcomed Ellie—a quiet 14-year-old who had been through a lot. At first, Ellie barely spoke. But simple things like beach walks, gardening, and patient support slowly helped her feel safe.
Now, Ellie’s thriving. She’s settled into school, joined the drama club, and even starred in a school play.
“Watching her grow in confidence has been the most rewarding part,” says Sarah. “Fostering changed all our lives.”
