The Foster Care Charity (formerly The Foster Care Co-operative) was founded in 1999 by Laurie Gregory, an ex-Deputy Director of Social Services and foster carer himself for many years.

Starting a ‘for profit’ agency was not an option, but he wanted to go a little further than establishing a not-for-profit organisation. ​After contacting Co-operatives UK, he chose the model of multi-stakeholder and common ownership. 
 
For many years, The Foster Care Co-operative was the only fostering organisation in the UK operating under a co-operative structure. On 1 October 2023, The Foster Care Co-operative became The Foster Care Charity.
