The film, called The Run, will be shown at Stockport’s iconic, art-deco cinema and theatre throughout the year and will appear before films including the classics When Harry Met Sally and All About Eve.
Produced in partnership with Stockport Council and other local authorities nationwide, the short film aims to raise awareness about fostering and encourage people to consider becoming foster carers.
The film focuses on Tom, an 11-year-old boy, contrasting his need to run - away from danger, a chaotic home life, with running as a sport. It captures how the love and support of a foster family can change a life.
Councillor Wendy Meikle, Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education said: “We have an urgent need for more foster carers and we’re so grateful to the Plaza, which is such a well-loved Stockport institution, for helping us raise awareness and ultimately encourage more foster carers to step forward to provide loving and safe homes for the children and young people in Stockport who desperately need one.”
