THINKING OF FOSTERING?
It’s fantastic you’re thinking of becoming a foster carer. We understand it’s a big step, but with the right support, it really can transform the lives of children and young people.
The children referred to us are from all different backgrounds. Often vulnerable, some have experienced significant trauma, leading to complex emotional and mental health issues. Others have physical disabilities. What’s important is that they’re given the love, the support and the space to heal, grow and enjoy their childhood.
Things to think about before making your decision to foster
-
What are your expectations and motivations for fostering?
-
Who would you be comfortable caring for? Consider the child’s age, circumstances, needs and health issues.
-
How do you think fostering could impact your current life?
-
If you have your own children living at home, have you talked about fostering with them? How do they feel?
We’d be happy to answer any questions you may still have about fostering.

“For me, a good foster carer makes you feel accepted. Not just in the home, but within the family itself. They treat you as they would their own son or daughter. They are there for you and make you feel like it’s your home too.”
