Why should I choose Community Foster Care?

Because we’re friendly

You can talk to a real person, not a system or a service, about any questions or concerns you have when you’re first thinking of fostering, throughout the application process, once you’re approved, and beyond. We’ll be there with you all the way, sharing in your struggles and your successes.

Because we’re in your neighbourhood

We offer fostering in Gloucestershire, Bristol, North Wiltshire, Lancashire and Cumbria, plus surrounding areas, and we’ve spent years building links with our local communities. We have a physical office in each of our core areas so that you can come and see us. Choose Community Foster Care and you’re not only making a difference to a child but also supporting your community.

Because we love learning

We offer first class training and unbeatable support to all our carers, no matter how long they’ve been fostering with us. We also have a strong culture of lifelong learning, so you can trust our team stay up to date with the latest developments and constantly build their knowledge and skills.

Because we care

Community Foster Care is a charity, and we do what we do because we believe all young people have the right to a brighter future. We don’t have any shareholders and we don’t make a profit. Any money left over at the end of the year is put straight back into developing services for the children and young people we look after.
