Together, our community can transform lives
Currently, there are children and young people in Croydon who need safe and loving homes. There is a shortage of foster carers in the borough, which means our young people could be placed in foster homes further away from their families.
For one week we would like fostering to be on the top of everyone’s agenda; from local businesses and community groups helping us to raise awareness to people applying to become foster carers.
Is fostering something you have been thinking of doing?
Do you have questions around your suitability or capacity to care for a child?
Do you want to know what payments, support and training are on offer?
Get in touch with us today for a friendly chat about fostering .
