The Fostering Network is the UK’s leading fostering charity and membership organisation. We were founded 50 years ago by foster carers, for foster carers, and 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.
What we do
The Fostering Network offers a comprehensive membership, providing the tools and resources to help you succeed and improve outcomes for foster carers and children in care.
We provide:
- Support: Offering expert advice, legal support, and resources that enhance the work of fostering services and foster carers, and support to associates wishing to contribute to the fostering community and drive positive change.
- Connection: Building stronger relationships through networking, forums, and sector-wide campaigns that unite the fostering community in their mission.
- Empowerment: Advocating for foster carers and children, challenging myths, and working to change policy and improve the fostering landscape. Our members have the chance to influence key decisions that impact foster care UK wide.
