Foster with us
What is fostering?
Fostering is when children or young people are placed with foster carers as their parents are no longer in a position to care for them. This can be on a temporary basis lasting for days or weeks. It can also last for a few months or years.
You can foster if you are:
21 or over
A UK resident or have indefinite leave to remain
Have a spare room
Have an interest and commitment to care for a child or young person
There is no age limit to fostering but you should be in reasonable health.
