What is Foster Care

Children need to live in an alternative home, away from their family, for so many reasons. Each child has a different story and each child needs a different family to help them through a difficult time. Fostering is one of the most worthwhile experiences and rewarding careers that anybody can have.

Transfering Agency

Transferring to us is swift and easy and is probably a quicker and smoother process than you may think. We provide reliable and consistent support which can be the difference you need to make fostering enjoyable and achievable for your family.

Foster Carer Allowances

We pay our carers £450-£650 per week per foster child placed in their care. We also provide a whole host of financial benefits and transport and other support to make fostering as supported as possible.

Why Foster With Us?

Being a local, independent foster agency in Kent, we get to know all our carers, and you will get to know us too! So, if you are looking for excellent support with a personal touch, we may be the agency for you.

Fostering In Kent | Homefinding & Fostering Agency

The Homefinding & Fostering Agency was founded in 1996 by an experienced foster carer who fostered over 60 children and our agency is still run by the original team to this day.

We offer safe and nurturing placements to society’s most vulnerable children and young people. As other agencies become part of larger companies, we have become unique by retaining our integrity as an independent foster care agency specialising in fostering in kent & neighbouring counties.

Homefinding & Fostering are committed to supporting our foster carers in Kent and London. We consistently aid in strengthening families so they can have an amazing fostering journey in which every child reaches their potential and foster carers can feel they made a significant positive change to a child’s life.
