National Fostering Week
EPIC Youth Council member, Emily Hanbidge, delivered a speech she wrote for Tusla’s National Fostering Week.
This annual public awareness campaign was launched by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daithí de Róiste, in the Mansion House and was intended to encourage people from all walks and all communities in Ireland to consider fostering.
In her speech, Emily shared her experience of foster care and encouraged people to “take that leap of faith and foster a child.” Emily received a standing ovation, and needless to say, everyone at EPIC is super proud of her.
