We believe that anyone can foster regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, religions and ages. Male or female, single or married, a homeowner or renting, heterosexual or LGBT, it doesn't matter.
FOSTERING means RESPECT, LOVE AND CARE
FOSTERING IS REBUILDING A CHILD'S FUTURE

#changeafuture
We believe that foster care changes futures - the futures of fostered children and young people and the futures of the foster families who care for them.
Have you ever had a moment in your life which you can look back on and see that your future changed at that time? Perhaps it was a teacher telling you that you were really good at something that is now your career? Or a relationship which led you to move? Or a trip overseas which gave you a different outlook on life? What was your moment? Fostering has the potential to be life-changing for fostered children and young people - it can #changeafuture.
This Foster Care Fortnight we want you to know that fostering is about changing futures. And, if you think you have the relevant skills and experience, we're calling on you to consider becoming foster carers so that you can also #changeafuture.
Fostering Allowances or Fostering Fee
Are you considering to become a foster carer but are thinking how you are going to afford it and what will be paid to you for fostering a child? It is true it can be an expensive job but there is enough of financial support available to foster carers to help you to cover the costs of fostering children. Additionally, a reward element in form of a weekly fostering allowance is paid to foster carers which of course depends on children's needs.
