Support for fostering in Kirklees
When you foster with Five Rivers, we build a team around you and the children you look after. We’ll be by your side for the important work you do helping children to flourish and lead the lives they deserve.
Why join the Five Rivers family?
You can get our support where and when it’s needed. As a social enterprise, we invest in support and training to look after you.
A local team in Kirklees gives you:
- Closer relationships with your local fostering team.
- Events, activities and peer support near you.
- Community with other 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.
