Information events

Thinking about fostering?

Come along to one of our friendly events to learn how fostering works and see if it's right for you. We run three different types of events, so you can choose the one that suits you best.

You'll hear from our fostering team and current foster carers, children and young people. There's always an opportunity to ask questions, whether in a group or one-on-one.

So come along and find out more. There’s nothing to lose and no obligation. But there will of course be drinks and biscuits in person! Watch this short film about what to expect at a information event.

General information events

Our general information sessions last around 1 to 1.5 hours and include a presentation, guest speakers, and the opportunity to chat with our team about fostering.
