That this House notes with admiration and appreciation the remarkable dedication shown by Ann Veitch from Bangor, Northern Ireland, who, in her 80s, is now in her 20th year as a foster carer; recognises that during these two decades, Ann has provided a loving home to over 30 children, helping them thrive and grow; commends her for continuing to care for children even after her own children had grown up, and for being honoured for her outstanding contribution to fostering; acknowledges the significant role that foster carers like Ann play in improving the lives of vulnerable young people; and calls on the Government to provide greater support and recognition to foster carers across the UK to ensure that their vital work is sustained for future generations.
