Challenging But Rewarding
Above all, fostering takes resilience. Foster carers also need patience, commitment and an unshakeable belief that every child deserves a safe home and someone who cares for them. In return for their dedication and hard work, foster carers can enjoy a long and exceptionally rewarding career in a world where their caring and nurturing qualities and parenting skills are truly valued and appreciated.
How We Support You to Make a Difference
When you foster with us you're never in it on your own. Our team around you is there to provide all the support you and your family needs. As well as your own dedicated social worker, our team of family workers, therapist and fostering admin are there to give you all the practical, emotional and social support you need to make life 'normal', happy and rewarding for everyone.
It's Not About Money... But It Helps
We know it's not about the money, but we understand that it is important. That's why we tend to bring it up first, so you don't have to. Our foster carers receive from £325 - £700 per week per child, a figure which depends on the individual care needs of each placement. This includes an allowance to cover the costs plus a fee which rewards your hard work and commitment to fostering.

If you're a warm-hearted, caring person who wants a rewarding career making a difference to children's lives, you have realistic expectations about the time and support children will need from you, and you are not daunted by the hard work or commitment that it takes to foster, then we need you.
