Anyone can foster, so can you.
Could you offer a supportive, loving home to a vulnerable child?
We are looking for new Foster Carers based in and around North East London to provide a home for children who can’t live with their own families. This care can sometimes be short term emergency/ planned care or a longer term care arrangement.
We are always looking for carers regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or marital or employment status.
Foster Carers will receive:
- excellent financial support
- expert and regular training
- support from fellow foster carers
- direct access to fostering teams and social workers
- additional support package from each local authority
- dedicated supervising social worker working with the child’s social worker to ensure a holistic approach
to give the child the best chances possible in life.
I felt anxious, excitement – a whole range of emotions! I couldn’t sleep the night before she came. And when she did come – she was very meek, very quiet, walked through the door… and I had this overwhelming sense of “I am so happy that you are here”
