Carol and Neil Wilkinson - December winners
Carol and Neil Wilkinson have been Foster Carers for almost 40 years. During this time they have cared for approximately 100 children, of varying ages, offering short-term, long-term, emergency and respite care.
Carol has also been called upon to use her nursing skills for a child with a life limiting illness.
Carol and Neil are always willing to go ‘the extra mile’ and they work collaboratively with all the health professionals in Coventry City Council.
The whole family participate in various Council events and ensure that they provide a stable and safe environment for the children they care for.
Carol and Neil nurture and care for young people who would otherwise have a very poor start in life. They are an inspiration to us all and without doubt deserve the accolade of ‘Good Citizens’.
