Are you curious about fostering and how you can make a difference in the lives of children who need a safe and loving home? Our fostering information events are the perfect starting point. These sessions are designed to provide a welcoming and informative space where you can learn more about fostering including Mainstream Fostering, which offers stable homes for children who cannot live with their birth families, and Encompass, our enhanced programme for children with more complex needs.
Whether you’re ready to start your fostering journey or simply curious to learn more, you’ll leave the session feeling informed and inspired.
How to join a fostering information event
You can join our fostering information events either online or in person. We offer virtual sessions via Microsoft Teams for those who prefer to attend from home, as well as in person opportunities at various locations across the borough where you can meet the team and learn more face to face.
