Foster a child
Fostering is a way of providing a family life and home for children who cannot live with their own parents. There are many different reasons why families start to foster but they all wish to make a difference to the lives of children and young people in care.
Fostering stories
We welcome foster carers from all walks of life, and all backgrounds. Read more from people who have fostered with Barnardo's about their experience and motivation.
Types of foster care
We provide several types of fostering to ensure we can support and meet each child and young person’s individual needs. This can range from offering a planned break for a young person to try new experiences, to offering a child a stable and loving family setting for several months or years.
