Fostering a teenager

Teenage years can be difficult for anyone. This is particularly true for a child who has experienced a challenging upbringing. This is a critical stage in the lives of our children. With the right support, you can have a huge and positive impact on the child's life.

You can be the difference

Becoming a foster carer is a big decision. It will not only change the life of the child you care for but will also change your current family life. As part of the support we offer, you will have access to a range of training from our team of specialist staff. You will also receive a fostering allowance and payment for your skills.

We need patient, flexible, understanding and determined people who are keen to learn. You must also have a spare room and time to commit to a child.
