Rugby stars back fostering drive

Players from the Huddersfield Giants rugby league team teamed up with a local foster family at the Galpharm Stadium yesterday to encourage local families to get involved in fostering.

Pictured are foster carer Helen Cockroft, 35, with husband Martin and son Aidan, 15, and Giants players Eorl Crabtree and David Faiumu.

A joint initiative between Kirklees Council and the club means supporters interested in finding out more can speak to real-life carers during the Giants v Leeds Rhinos fixture on Sunday, September 11.

To recognise the valuable contribution existing carers make to the lives of local children, the Giants have also said they will issue all Kirklees Council foster carers with free tickets to the game.
