Short Term Fostering

Want to change a child’s life?

Join us, an organisation run by people who really understand fostering.

Looking after young people, whether they’re your own or not, can be tough sometimes.


But the difference you make to a child who feels lost, sad, or confused is amazing and the joy you bring far outweighs the challenges. We offer you great support and training, so you have everything you need to help children who need it most.

Short breaks are a great way to help children and young people for a short time, at weekends or holidays. Perfect if you want to foster but have a job, or if a child needs emergency care at short notice. We offer support, regular training, and a good weekly allowance to help with costs.

Sarah - Respite Fostering Adviser

Hello, I'm Sarah

Short Term 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 within a fostering environment for eighteen 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.

Five 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"
