Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency that forms part of the Polaris Community, one of the UK's largest leading communities of children's service providers. We were set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, with a passion for delivering fostering services that make a positive difference to the lives of looked-after children.
We've come a long way since those early days and have built a strong reputation for excellence, offering a wide range of services to children and families. Our purpose remains the same: to make a positive and lasting difference for children, families, and communities, underpinned by a series of values designed to help us assist children and young people to reach their full potential.
We're committed to supporting every single child and foster parent, every single minute of the day, as one big family. If you share our values and are passionate about making a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
