Some bonds are too precious to lose.
For many children coming into foster care, their brother or sister is more than family — they are their safe place, their familiar face, their person.
Two brothers simply being together — mucking about at the table, taking selfies, laughing, and sharing the kind of moments that childhood should be full of.
But for some children, moments like these can be at risk when they enter foster care. Losing home, routine and everything familiar is already frightening enough. Being separated from a sibling can make that loss feel even greater.
Keeping siblings together means giving children comfort in the middle of change. It means protecting their shared memories, their laughter, their little jokes, and the bond that helps them feel less alone.
At Abacus Fostering, we need kind, patient and caring people who can open their homes to siblings and give them the chance to grow up side by side, supported and loved.
You will not be doing it alone. With excellent support, specialist training and a generous tax-free financial package of up to £550, our friendly office team and dedicated social workers are here to support you every step of the way.
Could you be the reason siblings get to stay together? Find out more about becoming an Abacus foster parent today. Call 0800 002 9512.
*You must have a spare room and be over 21 years old.

How to start the fostering hugs.

Thinking About Becoming a Foster Carer? Here’s What the Assessment Is Really Like! 🌟

At Abacus, we do everything we can to make the fostering assessment as smooth and stress free as possible. The process has two parts, and they often run alongside each other:

✅ Stage 1 – Checks & References
We carry out the essential safety checks to make sure fostering is the right fit. This includes:
• Personal references from three people who know you well
• Police and medical checks
• Employment checks (if you're working)
• Local authority checks
…and a few others depending on your circumstances

✅ Stage 2 – Your Life Story
This part is all about you. Over 6–8 sessions, we’ll explore your journey from childhood to now, focusing on the skills and experiences you bring to fostering.
⏳ How long does it take?

The full process usually takes 4–6 months, depending on your situation, we like to get them done as quickly as possible.

📘 Skills to Foster Training
You'll also join our “Skills to Foster” training — four relaxed evening sessions designed to help you understand the fostering task and what to expect once you’re approved.

📝 The Final Step – Panel
At the end, you’ll attend an Abacus Panel. Our panel members — including those with personal or professional experience with fostering and even someone who was fostered themselves — will review your assessment. They may ask a few friendly questions, such as what you’re most looking forward to in fostering.
💛 We’re here to support you through every step. If fostering has been on your mind, now might be the perfect time to explore it further!

Can you see my world?

Sometimes the best connections are made upside down on the sofa — laughing, playing, and seeing the world from a child’s point of view.

At Abacus Fostering, we’re looking for playful, kind and empathetic people who can offer children a stable, loving home where they feel safe, understood and supported.

There are simply not enough foster families to care for all the children who need them across the UK — and we need more foster parents in your area.

With excellent support, specialist training and generous tax-free financial pay of up to £550, you won’t be doing it alone. From our friendly office staff to our dedicated social workers, we’re here to help you flourish.

Could you be the person to make a real difference in a child’s life? Find out more about becoming an Abacus foster parent today. Call 0800 002 9512.
