Meet our foster carers virtually

When people first think about fostering, their minds often go to the children—those who need safe, nurturing environments to grow, heal, and thrive. But just as vital to that picture are the dedicated individuals and families who open their homes and hearts to young people. At the heart of our charity are our foster carers—each with a unique story, background, and commitment to making a lasting difference.

We know that considering becoming a foster carer is a big decision. It’s not just about offering a spare room; it’s about being present, supportive, and patient. That’s why we believe the best way to understand what fostering involves is by hearing directly from those already doing it. Meeting real foster carers, either in person or at one of our local foster care informational meetings, provides invaluable insight. You’ll hear about the rewards, the challenges, and the everyday experiences that make fostering such a meaningful journey.

As a not-for-profit Independent Fostering Agency, we operate differently from many others. Our purpose isn’t financial gain—it’s about community, care, and supporting both children and carers. Our approach is deeply rooted in values like integrity, tenacity, and compassion. This shared ethos is what draws so many brilliant carers to us. They aren’t just providing temporary accommodation; they’re part of a supportive network committed to helping children reach their full potential.

Fostering is not without its challenges. But when you join our network, you’re never alone. We provide training, practical resources, and emotional support. We also have a therapeutic approach that recognises the impact of trauma on children and gives carers the tools to support healing in everyday interactions.

Whether you’re still in the “just thinking about it” stage or ready to take the next step, we encourage you to attend one of our foster care information meetings. Even if you’re outside our areas of operation, you’ll find places to meet foster carers nationally through other trusted agencies and events, but if you live within an hour of our offices, we’d love to meet you.
