In 2015, one child a week was taken into foster care in Western Trust areas.
They are now holding a series of information days across the West for people who may like to consider fostering a child.
Deciding to foster could change the lives of some children unable to live with their birth families.
Fostering could also change your life for the better too.
The Western Trust have been sharing a series of videos on social media sharing different people's experiences:
