Fostering

Welcome to Fostering    

We provide safe, caring homes for children and young people who aren’t able to live with their birth families. We do this by working closely with our Carers, children and young people, their Social Workers and birth families.

There is always a demand for our service – so we are always ready to welcome you as a new Foster Carers. We have in the region of 330 caring homes throughout the county, but we need more people to take up this unique challenge.

Looking after vulnerable children is not the easiest thing in the world – but the rewards can be endless. Knowing you are making a difference to a young person’s life is very fulfilling.
