Could You Foster?
Welcome to our family...
Futures for Children began with two social workers, both of whom had been foster carers, who decided to offer something different than other independent agencies and local authorities were providing.
Through a flexible, caring and imaginative foster care service, at Futures for Children we provide an opportunity for all our children and young people to become valued members of tomorrow’s society.
Looked after children represent the most disadvantaged and vulnerable members of our community. At Futures for Children, it is our objective to provide the support and environments in which these most vulnerable young people can thrive and achieve a positive outcome from their time spent in foster care. There is much work to be done to redress the disadvantages these children have experienced and little time to do this before they become independent young adults.
Fostering can be a challenging task but it is also one of the most rewarding. Here at Futures for Children, we are committed to working with you at every step toward becoming a foster carer and ultimately ensuring that children get a better chance in life.
