About this opportunity

Would you like to make a difference to sibling in the care system, whilst gaining valuable skills in working with children and young people? Then, this is the opportunity for you!

Siblings Reunited (STAR) reunites brothers and sisters separated in the care system, by providing the opportunity for quality and regular sibling contact.
