Trust underpins everything we undertake at FosteringMatters. You too could join our ‘team’ of trusted, dedicated and committed Foster Carers who are a crucial part of the FosteringMatters Family. Support
FosteringMatters are fully aware that the recruitment and retention of dedicated and competent carers are fundamental to achieving great outcomes for children and young people.

Some lovely news from FosteringMatters ❤️
This month, our foster carers have welcomed a parent and child and a sibling group of three children into their homes.
Both placements are going really well. The Local Authorities are delighted, our carers are happy and, most importantly, everyone is settling in well.
We’re a small, social work and family based fostering agency and moments like this remind us why we do what we do.
Could you offer a child — or perhaps brothers and sisters who need to stay together — a safe and caring home?
We’d love to hear from you. Even if you’re only thinking about fostering, get in touch for an informal chat. No pressure, just a conversation.

Fostering extends beyond providing a place to live—it gives children the opportunity to rebuild, develop, and thrive. A loving and secure foster home can bring consistency during instability, comfort during emotional struggles, and support at critical moments. Despite the challenges involved, fostering can leave a lasting and life-changing impact on a child’s future.
