about Mel
At the end of the day, what’s important to me is what our foster carers say about how we support them – and that should be very genuine and personal support.
my career
I qualified as a social worker studying under the old Diploma in Social work at Coleg Menai, Bangor.
After 14 years as a qualified social worker and team manager, I took the opportunity to come and manage the fostering service in Gwynedd.
I am now proud to be Regional Development Manager for Foster Wales, alongside my team manager role.
If you are interested in fostering, or a local business willing to support their local fostering community, reach out to me on LinkedIn.
