Fostering in the East Midlands

At Team Fostering, we recruit, assess, train and support foster carers across the East Midlands, including Chesterfield, Mansfield, Nottingham and Derby. As a not for profit fostering agency, our mission is to put children’s wellbeing first while providing exceptional support to carers in your area.

 

Supporting Foster Carers Across Your Region

The East Midlands is experiencing an urgent shortage of foster carers. In Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Nottinghamshire alone, there are over 3,300 children in care – but only 592 foster homes available. In Nottinghamshire specifically, more than 970 children are in care, with a growing demand for safe and supportive homes across the region.
With a regional office in South Normanton, we’re ideally placed to support foster carers throughout the East Midlands.

Our local team works closely with carers in Nottingham City, Derby, Chesterfield, Mansfield and Loughborough, as well as across wider communities. We offer ongoing training, a 24/7 support line, and a friendly, experienced team that understands the needs of children and carers in the region.
