ABOUT US

FOR CHILDREN NOT FOR PROFIT

We are passionate about making a difference to children’s lives. Children in care are there for a reason, they are hurting and need our help to heal. 

Disillusioned by what was offered to children in care, and the support given to Foster Carers, we set up as a not-for-profit co-operative in 1999 working in England & Wales. As the co-operative we were rated Good with Ofsted (last report 2019).

On the 1st October 2023 we became The Foster Care Charity, a registered charity dedicated to promoting the welfare of vulnerable children and young adults through foster care placements and related childcare services.
