At Homefinding & Fostering, we recognise what an enormous commitment parent and child fostering is.

One of the biggest responsibilities of a foster carer is keeping everyone in the home safe.

I can remember with absolute clarity the moment I realised that I would probably spend my working life with children.

Teenagers are often dismissed as being too difficult. People assume they will come with attitude...

Long term fostering, or permanency, requires a special type of dedication and commitment.

Respite fostering offers children a safe, loving place to stay for short periods — often weekends or school holidays.

Foster carers are urgently needed, and each new fostering household can mean one more child living in a supportive family instead of uncertain arrangements.

Independent fostering agencies are private organisations that recruit, train and support foster carers.

Foster Care Fortnight is a national campaign that raises awareness of fostering and encourages more people to consider becoming foster carers.

When your children have grown up and left home, it can feel like a big change — emotionally and practically.

At Homefinding & Fostering, we believe fostering is never done alone. This blog explores the strength of our fostering community and why support, shared learning and connection make such a difference for carers and children.

Our foster carers recently took part in a trauma-informed learning day using virtual reality to better understand how early trauma can shape a child’s experiences, behaviours and emotions.
