We welcome individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of their circumstances or identity. You can be.
- Male, female, or non-binary.
- Single, married, divorced, or cohabiting.
- Straight, gay, bisexual, or transgender.
- Have the legal right to work in the UK.
- From any ethnic background or religion.
- Any age over 21, provided you’re fit, healthy, and have the energy to meet a child’s needs.
- Have a spare bedroom large enough for a bed, wardrobe or chest of drawers, and a desk.
- Be resilient, able to work as part of a team, and fully committed to transforming the life of a child.
If you meet the basic requirements and have the desire to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you!
Do I Need Experience with Children?
While previous experience with children can be helpful, it’s not essential. Many of our foster parents come to us with little to no experience but a strong passion for helping young people. We provide:
- Comprehensive training to equip you with the skills and knowledge to succeed.
- Ongoing support from social workers, therapists, fostering advisors, teachers, and fellow foster parents.
With our guidance, you’ll be fully prepared to make a life-changing impact.
