FOSTERING Barnsley will be taking centre stage for Barnsley’s final League One game at Oakwell at the weekend.
The Reds take on Shrewsbury Town in the penultimate game of the season, and the last home match.
Fostering Barnsley will be ‘taking over’ the day in a bid to shine a spotlight on the incredible work of foster carers across the borough and inspire more people to consider becoming part of the fostering community in Barnsley.
Supporters arriving at the match will find a Fostering Barnsley information stall outside the ground, offering advice and information for anyone curious about fostering.
A spokesperson for the Barnsley FC Community Trust said: “Thanks to the generous support of Rapid Response, a special allocation of tickets has been donated so that local foster carers and children can attend the match and cheer on the super Reds together, making it a memorable day for families across the fostering community.
“In celebration of their work, members of the Fostering Barnsley team will also take part in a half-time pitch walk, so be sure to give them a huge round of applause in recognition of their dedication and commitment to changing children’s lives.
