Across the whole of the UK, there estimated to be over 107,000 children in care.

Each year, thousands of children across the UK require the care of foster families when they are unable to live with their birth families. As a result, there is a constant need for new foster families. Becoming a foster carer can profoundly impact children’s lives, making it an incredibly rewarding experience.

Children and young people need foster carers from diverse backgrounds with various life, work, and care experiences. All foster carers receive continuous training and support to develop the skills necessary to help children thrive.

You can explore becoming a foster carer with Impact Fostering if you:

• Are at least 21 years old
• Have a spare bedroom in your home
• Are living in the UK, in your own home or with a secure rental agreement
• Are willing and able to provide care for a child or young person as if they were your own
