Increase the fostering allowance to support fostered children

What the petition asks
We want the government to increase the fostering allowance. We're concerned that some foster carers have had to cease fostering due to financial difficulty. We're worried that the increase of foster children and a lack of foster carers has meant children have not received nurturing homes.
