Supermum's 300-strong family of love

A SELFLESS supermum who has fostered more than 300 children over three decades says each child brings something special.

Linda Garforth, 66, has been fostering through Oldham Council for 33 years, latterly with the help of her twin daughters.

Her unconditional love has supported hundreds of vulnerable youngsters, providing them with a safe and caring home, and now she's been honoured for her work.

Her selfless devotion has inspired not only other foster carers, but her two daughters, Christine and Catherine, who now also foster children.

And Linda has continued to provide care and support for those who need it, alongside raising her own three children, despite starting to lose her eyesight 11 years ago.
