Olympian Jamie Baulch Joins Calon Cymru Fostering as Ambassador

We are excited to announce that celebrated Welsh Olympian Jamie Baulch has joined as our newest Ambassador. This partnership marks a significant chapter in the agency's mission to enhance and expand foster care across Wales.

On Tuesday, 2nd July, Jamie spent an inspiring and emotional day with a group of our dedicated foster carers. The gathering provided a safe and nurturing environment where carers shared their personal journeys, detailing the joys and challenges they have encountered. Their unwavering dedication to providing stable, loving homes for children and young people was evident throughout the session. Jamie also shared his own life experiences, creating a profound connection with the group, leading to many heartfelt moments where "many a tear was shed" as stories and insights were exchanged.

“Listening to these incredible carers today has been truly humbling,” said Jamie Baulch. “The love, resilience, and commitment they show every single day is extraordinary. I’m honoured to be welcomed into the Calon Cymru family. We need more people in Wales to come forward and join this life-changing journey as foster carers.”

Sharon Cavaliere, Director of Calon Cymru Fostering, expressed her enthusiasm:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Jamie into our Calon family. His passion, empathy, and personal story resonate deeply with our values. This partnership will help shine a light on the urgent need for foster carers across Wales and inspire others to take that first step.”

As the number of children needing safe and loving homes continues to rise, the demand for foster carers in Wales has never been more urgent. We hope that Jamie's passion for finding children and young people safe environments to thrive will help us on our mission.
