Foster Carers needed

Published: 11th May 2020

A child comes into care every 20 seconds in the UK. Away from their families, they need a safe and loving family to care for them. This is fostering.

Fostering is a career, a challenge, but above all it is a way of giving a child or young person a secure, stable and loving family environment. 

What is fostering?

Some children are not able to live with their own birth family and need a safe place to live. A foster home offers such children a safe place to live for a few days, weeks months or sometimes even years.

Fostering means providing a child with all the things that any family would, food, warmth, shelter, love, care, support with health and education. Find out about the different types of fostering.
