'Family tree' fostering campaign
A tree outside the Civic Centre in Uxbridge was the first to be decorated as part of a new 'family tree' campaign.
Several trees in the borough are about to get a facelift as part of a new campaign to encourage fostering.
Leaves with faces on them will be used to decorate trees to represent the family.
Louise Hocking, service manager, fostering and adoption said: "Fostering can offer so much, not only to the child that needs a home, but also to the family that looks after them.
"We would urge anyone who has thought about fostering or feels they have a home or the love to offer a child to get in touch and see what they can do."
Training and advice is offered to anyone who becomes a carer and the council works to ensure families and children are suited.
This campaign coincides with National Tree Dressing Day, which is about celebrating trees in public areas and took place on the first weekend of December.
