Be cautious when resonsing to adverts which are too good to be true!

Consumers who have responded to social media ads offering amazing deals on home improvements have been cold called and visited by companies who pressured them into signing expensive contracts for products they didn’t want or need.

Always do plenty of independent research before having any work done

Foster carers needed

Three brothers.
One childhood.
One bond that should never be broken.

Liam (9), Callum (8) and Harris (4) need a foster family where they can stay together.

Everything feels less frightening when they have each other 💙

Right now, we urgently need more people to come forward and keep brothers and sisters together.

Could you open your heart and home? Or help by sharing this post?

Glasgow urgently needs more foster carers and adoptive parents.
