TACT Fostering |
|
|
The Adolescent and Children’s Trust (TACT) is the UK’s largest dedicated fostering charity. Since its founding in 1993, TACT has been committed to enhancing the lives of children, young people and care-experienced adults for over 30 years.
That mission sits at the heart of everything we do. While some Independent Fostering Agencies (IFAs) run as commercial organisations, with the aim of making profit, we are driven purely by doing what is best for the children and young people in our care. As a non-profit organisation and registered charity, any surplus income that we generate through our work is invested back into developing and expanding the service and support that we provide for our foster carers and children.
Beyond the support that we offer ourselves, we are also passionate about helping to drive positive change to the care system. We use our voice to advocate for and amplify the voices of others, regularly campaigning on behalf of our foster carers and the care experienced community and actively seek to influence public policy.
