Fostering

Drop-in to one of our fostering events

Drop-in to one of our public fostering information events to find out more about how you can change the life of a child or a young person by fostering. 

A member of the fostering team will be on hand  for an informal chat about the training, allowances, pay and ongoing support offered by the council.

And you can talk to one of our foster carers, Angela pictured above, about the joys and rewards of offering a stable, caring home to a child or young person.
