Support for foster carers in Barnard Castle
There’s much more to fostering than just offering a safe home. You’ll receive free, ongoing training and join a professional team helping children in care to make extraordinary progress. Our 24/7 support means we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Fostering with us
As a social enterprise, we do things differently. We invest in research, training and supervision for our social work teams so they can support you.
A local team in Barnard Castle means:
- Face-to-face support from a local team who knows you.
- Fostering celebrations, activities and support groups.
- Friendships with fellow local foster carers.
Meet Foster Carers Maxine and Wayne
For Maxine and Wayne, fostering isn’t a career, it’s a way of life.
The couple have provided a caring home for 14 children in their five years as Foster Carers and helped several groups of brothers and sisters transition into adoption with their forever families, as well as offering a short-term home for others.
