Transform Lives as a Foster Caregiver

Fostering is a powerful way to make a difference. At Action for Children, we are dedicated to guiding you through every step of your fostering journey.

Who Can Become a Foster Caregiver?

Almost anyone has the potential to foster. If you are at least 25 years old, a permanent resident in the UK, and have an available room in your home, you may qualify to become a foster caregiver.

Our foster caregivers come from diverse backgrounds, united by a common goal: to provide a child in need with love, attention, and a secure, nurturing environment.

Why Choose Action for Children?

We understand that fostering is not just a job; it is a significant commitment that can change lives. We value our foster caregivers and ensure they receive the support necessary to care for the children who depend on them.

As a foster caregiver with Action for Children, you will benefit from:

  • A professional fee of up to £750 per week
  • 24/7 support from our dedicated team
  • Manageable case loads, with a foster family to Supervising Social Worker ratio of 6:1
  • 28 days of earned leave
  • Comprehensive training throughout the year

You may not have all the experience required, but we are committed to equipping you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to provide a loving and safe home for a child in need.

Could You Foster?

Becoming a foster caregiver is a profound decision that can transform both your life and the lives of the young people you support. We promise to stand by you throughout this journey.

Consider the impact you could have—your involvement could change lives.
