Fostering with Barnardo’s
Not every child has a warm, safe, stable home. For some young people, life can get tough, and when it does they need a caring adult to believe in them until things can get better.
Barnardo’s foster carers come from various backgrounds, nationalities, religions and ages. And whether you are single or married, male or female, a homeowner or renting, straight, lesbian, gay, trans or bisexual, it doesn't matter.
We believe you can be a foster carer and so should you.
“It’s important that carers feel like they have somewhere to turn to when things get tough, and we definitely get that from Barnardo’s. The training has been really helpful and the support groups allow us to share experiences with other carers and get advice from them.”
Avril, Barnardo’s foster carer
Why foster with us?
With over 100 years' experience of helping children to find loving families, we know how to support foster carers to have a positive impact.
