Start Your Fostering Journey – Join an Information Event.
Our fostering information events are a great first step in finding out more about fostering and whether it could be right for you. We offer both online and in-person events, giving you the flexibility to join in a way that suits you.
Our in-person events provide a friendly, informal setting where you can meet our team face-to-face. You'll have the chance to:
- ask questions in a relaxed, supportive environment
- speak directly with experienced social workers
- hear honest, real-life experiences from foster carers
If you prefer to join from home, our online sessions offer the same helpful information and opportunities to ask questions and meet foster carers. Online sessions are hosted by our friendly team online via Microsoft Teams.
We understand that everyone is at a different stage in their journey. If you're not quite ready to attend an event, you can also book a phone call with us or explore our fostering information pack.
Whatever stage you're at, we're here to support you with clear, honest advice and help you take the next step with confidence.
What to expect
Hear from our friendly team and foster carers about the fostering journey. There will also be time to ask any questions you may have about fostering.
We run fostering information events both online and in person, giving you flexibility to join in the way that works for you.
For online events, you'll receive an email invitation on the day of your session so you can easily join. If you're attending in person, we'll share all the details you need about the location and what to expect beforehand.
Our fostering information evening sessions usually run for an hour and a half, from 7pm to 8:30pm.
Yes, our information events are free to attend.
We welcome anybody who has been thinking about fostering and would like to know more about:
- what it involves
- what being a foster carer is like
- how we will support you
I came away feeling both inspired and informed. It's given me the confidence I needed to feel to take the next step of applying.”
