Are you considering becoming a foster carer?
Our foster carers are a group of fabulously varied people, there is no ‘perfect’ person we look for.
There are many misconceptions about becoming a foster carer. But. the truth is, you can foster a child or young person whether you're married or single, no matter your race, religion, gender or sexuality. Whether you are a homeowner or renting, have children of your own or have no experience at all!
The only thing you need to be considered to start your fostering journey is, to be over the age of 21, have a spare bedroom and have the space in your heart to love a child.
Most children in care lack the positive family experience that most of their peers would have, but all it takes is one person, a person like you, to make a difference.
