Why foster?

Fostering is a big commitment and a deeply rewarding experience. Fostering offers a child or young person a safe and caring environment while they are unable to live with their own family.

We desperately need more foster carers across west London to support our children in need of short-term or long-term care. By opening up your heart and your home you can help give children the future they deserve. You will receive training, support at every step of the way, and competitive fees and allowances.

If you're already thinking about fostering, you already have some of the characteristics that would be essential for a foster carer. A desire to help improve children and young people's lives should be at the heart of the reasons to foster a child. There are certain requirements that you'll need to meet in order to begin your application to become a foster carer.
