Fostering with Newham Council

Click on the image above for our fostering campaign

Fostering is when you care for a child and give them a family life in your home because their own family is unable to do so. Foster carers make a powerful difference in the lives of children and young people by providing safety, support, and love. Children and young people come into the care of the local authority for many different reasons. This may be because of a parent's illness, family difficulties, or concerns such as neglect or abuse. These children and young people need to experience a positive family life which is why we are always recruiting individuals and families from all cultural backgrounds to provide the loving and caring homes that they deserve.

We run regular information sessions with experienced foster carers where you can find out more about fostering and ask any questions you may have.
