Support for foster carers in Leeds
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 Leeds 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.

“I wish more people understood what a special experience fostering children is. It is such an important job, helping guide the children that are all too often forgotten about, into being the happy, healthy adults they were always destined to be.”
“The majority of the children that come to me have just left their family homes. I’m lucky to be able to show them that foster care is a safe place and that we are here to help them. I get to change so many more lives and really prepare them for their life ahead during a short amount of time.”
“There is nothing more rewarding than receiving a thank you card on Mother’s Day from a young person we fostered. The transformation in these children from when they arrive to when they leave is wonderful to see.”
