About us
Foster Cares is a fostering agency that provides high-quality foster care placements to children and young people in the North East & West. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for every child in our care. As an inclusive agency, we welcome and support foster carers from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and communities. We provide ongoing training and support to all of our foster carers, so they can provide the best possible care for the children in their care. We understand that fostering can be a challenging but rewarding experience. That's why we provide our foster carers with comprehensive training, ongoing support, and financial assistance. We offer a range of placements, including short-term, long-term, and respite care, to suit the needs of both the children and the carers. We work closely with local authorities and other agencies to ensure that we are providing the best possible care to the children and young people in our care. We also have a team of social workers and support workers who are dedicated to ensuring that the children and young people in our care receive the support and guidance they need to thrive. At Foster Cares, we believe that fostering is a team effort, and we are committed to working closely with our foster carers, the children and young people in our care, and other agencies to provide the best possible outcomes for everyone involved. We also recognize the importance of involving the birth families of the children in our care, where appropriate, to ensure that they remain an important part of the child's life and development. Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for every child and young person in our care, so they can reach their full potential and achieve their dreams. If you are interested in becoming a foster carer, we welcome applications from anyone who is passionate about providing a safe and loving home for a child in need.
