Give a child a brighter future

During January we’re celebrating the role foster carers play in making childhood amazing for our young people. From making memories to celebrating achievements and helping them build the skills for a brighter future, where they can be whatever they want to be.

Meet our care leavers

Skye, Amy* and Kaycee are all care leavers who were looked after by Team Fostering foster carers. Nothing tells the impact of fostering better than hearing it from the mouths of those children who were impacted so have a read of their stories below.

Meet our Team

If you enquire about becoming a foster carer with us, you might wonder who you’ll get to talk to about your fostering journey.

Meet Emma and Yazmin – our two Recruitment and Engagement Officers. During January they’ll be holding pop up events in local cafes where you can come along and talk to them about fostering and we’ll throw in a free drink and cake. Scroll down for dates and locations.

Alternatively if you fill in our online enquiry form it’s highly likely it’ll be one of them who gives you a call back for a chat. And believe us, they like a chat.

Watch the videos to get to know them a bit better.
