What You Need To Know About: 

Fostering Young Children

Want to change a child’s life?

Join a fostering organisation built by people who truly understand what it takes. Foster carers give children a safe, loving home when they can’t live with their birth families. Fostering opens up opportunities many young people may never have had , giving them stability, support, and a better future.

Children in care come from all backgrounds, and we work hard to match them with foster carers who understand and reflect their identity. That’s why we welcome carers from all cultures, beliefs, and walks of life. Whether you offer short-term care, long-term home, or occasional short breaks, the love and guidance you provide will help shape a young person’s future for the better. Fostering a baby or young child can be one of the most rewarding journeys you’ll ever take. You’ll be there to share special moments, from a child’s first trip to the beach to their first birthday celebration in a safe, loving home.

Sadly, many children in care come from backgrounds affected by neglect, abuse, or addiction. This can sometimes lead to challenging behaviour, but you won’t face it alone. We provide free, expert training and support from our dedicated social work team, so you’re fully prepared and never without help. With your support, these children can begin to heal and experience brighter futures.

Want to transform the life of a child? Then join a company built by those who know fostering best.

Foster carers provide a loving, safe and secure family environment for children who are unable to live with their parents. Fostering gives young people opportunities they  may never have had, offering them the best chance in life. 


Looked-After-Children come from all different backgrounds and we try very hard to match them with foster carers who reflect their identities, which is why we need foster carers of all kinds of backgrounds and beliefs. 


Whether you provide short-term, long-term or short breaks care, your support and guidance will have a positive impact on the rest of a young person’s life.

Fostering a young child or baby can be a unique and wonderful experience. 


You could provide the joy of new experiences to a child, a child who may never done even the simplest of things, such as going to the beach. 


It is the heart-breaking reality that our Looked-After-Children come from backgrounds of addiction, abuse and neglect. Therefore, they sometimes present behaviour which can be challenging. 


However, you will receive free professional training and around the clock support from our amazing Social Workers, so you will never have to face anything alone. 


With your care and guidance, these children will receive a second chance in life.

Sarah - Fostering Adviser

Hello, I'm Sarah

Younger Children

Fostering Adviser

Call Me For A Quick Chat On: 

0800 408 4710

I grew up in Newcastle and my family still live there, so my links with the North East are still strong.


I moved to London as a teenager and met my husband there, we lived happily in London, our four children were born and grew up in London, they are now adults. We recently welcomed our first grandchild. As a family we moved to the countryside in 2010 and have comfortably adapted to rural life.


I have worked in a fostering environment for over twenty years. For thirteen years I managed a contact service for "looked after children" most of whom lived in the foster homes of the agency I worked for. This involved liaising with birth parents, family members, foster carers and social workers, to ensure that contact was a positive experience for the children.


Nine years ago the agency I worked for became part of Futures Group and I've continued to work with them in fostering.


Please feel free to call me at a time to suit you. I'm always pleased to talk about fostering, it's challenges and rewards. I look forward to hearing from you.

"Carers, children and young people benefit from effective leadership, delivering a service which meets the needs of those children and young people"
