A social enterprise with a strong local foundation has celebrated successfully helping hundreds of children over 25 years.

Five Rivers was founded in 1989 in Salisbury, to provide local authorities with a specialised therapeutic service for children who had been traumatised by earlier abuse.

Five Rivers trains and supports foster carers to work with some of the most distressed youngsters in our communities, and its staff, pictured above, have marked the anniversary with a series of roadshows to try and attract more fosterers.

If you or someone you know are interested in fostering and would like to find out more, call 01722 435765 or visit www.five-rivers.org/fostering
