Am I right for fostering?
You don’t need to be perfect to be a great foster carer, you just need to be you.
The you who is single, married or somewhere in between. With children, no children or a house full of pets.
At Action for Children Fostering we recognise that every young person is different and so is every foster carer. We celebrate individuality, yours and theirs and bring the two together.
Giving them the care, confidence and stability they need to thrive is an amazing thing to do. It’s life-changing and life-enhancing.
It’s really important that our foster carers reflect current, diverse family structures in society. A wide range of foster carers will give us more choice to better fit with the diverse range of children and young people who need a safe and loving home.
We’re committed to being fair and inclusive across our whole organisation and welcome foster carers from all walks of life.
We believe in promoting equality, valuing diversity, and working inclusively. As long as you have space in your heart to care for a young person in need, Action for Children Fostering welcomes and encourages you to apply to join our fostering family.
We’ll look at who you are, what your life looks like and how a young person could be themselves in your home.
This way we ensure that the support and training we provide to you is truly shaped around you and your life.
Almost anyone can foster a vulnerable young person, and we believe that who you are is just what they need.
