Foster carers receive an allowance and expenses

The need for foster carers is great. There are around 2,500 children in care in Northern Ireland and that number has been increasing every year since 2006. To meet the need, we need at least 250 new carers each year.

What do you need?   You need to be over 21 and have a spare room. You don’t need to have been a parent yourself, but you do need the skills to care for and support a child. We need people who can provide the warmth and stability that enable children to cope with the changes that life brings them. We do that by recruiting ordinary people, from all walks of life to do something extraordinary.

We are a charity with a 150-year history of putting children and young people at the heart of everything we do. That’s why it’s so important to us to make the right match between foster carer and child. Our training and 24/7 support provide stable placements and is one of the reasons our carers stay with us. Even if it’s not the right time for you, you may know people who would make great foster carers.

Why foster? 

Our foster families transform lives. They give children the love, care and stability they desperately need.

This is so important for the children we meet, who haven’t always had the best start in life.

We know fostering is a big decision and understand that everyone’s situation is different. We’re always here if you want to have a chat, ask any questions or find out more.

Give us a call on 02890 460500 or   quickly fill out our enquiry form
