About us

We are the UK’s leading fostering charity and membership organisation. We were founded 50 years ago by foster carers, for foster carers and we are dedicated to supporting foster carers every step of the way. From legal protection and expert advice to wellbeing support and learning opportunities, we provide the resources needed to help foster carers throughout their fostering journey.

Our access to governments and policy makers in all four nations of the United Kingdom gives us an unrivalled ability to lead the change necessary to make foster care the best it can be

 

We believe that relationships are the golden thread running through every fostering story and are dedicated to supporting, enriching, empowering and, where necessary, restoring the vital bonds between those who work together to offer love, warmth, stability and hope to children and young people.
