FIRM GIVES FOSTER YOUNGSTERS SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER
Children and teenagers in foster care in Bury have been given some Christmas cheer. Woodcocks, a family firm of solicitors based in Manchester Road has donated new toys and gifts for children in the care of Bury Council.
Margaret Mahon, a partner in the family law department, presented the gifts to the council’s family placement team with the help of solicitors, Emma Pike and Mark Taylor. Afterwards, a Christmas party was held for the foster carers and the children.
Kath Price, a family placement team manager said “This is a great start to Christmas for these children and we are grateful for the support from Woodcocks.” Margaret Mahon who works at the Bury office of Woodcocks said: “Through my job I represent both parents and children in care proceedings. It is because of this work I became aware of the difficulties for many children when they have been removed from their families. Christmas should be a magical time for children and young people, which is why we felt it was so important to help the less fortunate ones in our area to have a wonderful festive period”.
There are more than 200 children in Bury who are being looked after by foster carers and more big-hearted families and people are needed to take on the role.
