Orchard Children’s Services

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Una Kumar and I work for Orchard Children’s Services. I am writing to you about two projects that we run.The Learn 2 Live project is being set-up to offer the young people within the care of the H.S.E another option as apposed to our ‘After Care’ project. In the Learn2Live project we hope that young people can achieve goals towards helping them become totally independent. The project is designed to support young people in the care of the HSE to live in the community and learn about independent living from cooking their own meals to budgeting.The main aim of Orchard family placement service is to provide stable and first-rate foster care for children of all ages. We aim to supply a service where children are valued, supported and encouraged to grow and develop as individuals. A weekly wage is paid to providers as is 24/7 on call support and carers will be fully trained by our professional team.We are currently recruiting Foster Carers and Supported Living Providers nationwide, and would very much appreciate it if you could come to your centre and talk to visitors or send you an information poster to hang on your notice board. We have a wide range of young people ranging in nationalities and are very eager to recruit foster parents from different ethnic background as we find children and young people placed within their own communities tend to respond positively.
