Just as a collage is created by gathering diverse, unique pieces to form a complete and meaningful picture, fostering allows you to bring your own experiences and love into a child’s life. Send us a message to find out how to become a foster carer

To anyone who likes to potter around the garden, think about how you could apply the skills of cultivating and nurturing to fostering children.

Like a greenhouse’s function, providing a temporary, protected, and nurturing environment designed to shelter vulnerable life from harsh external elements until it is strong enough to thrive on its own.

Repotting: Moving to a new foster home is like transferring a plant to a new pot. The sudden change causes temporary wilting or distress, requiring extra warmth, gentle watering, and time to adjust to the new environment.

Pruning and Healing: Addressing trauma and difficult past experiences is like careful pruning. It involves gently removing damaged or unhealthy patterns so the child can redirect their energy toward healthy, new growth.

Are they young or old? Do they work? Do they have children? Are they retired? Are they divorced? Do they live in a flat? Do they have a pet? The answer is any of these. Here at SCF, we welcome people from all backgrounds, regardless of marital status, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or whether you rent or own your home.

Rome wasn't built in a day. In fostering, you can't fix everything in a day. Our foster carers celebrate the small moments - a calm bedtime or getting to school.

Taking fostering on step at a time makes the journey hugely rewarding, rather than overwhelming.

Celebrate every key relationship. When care leavers share their stories, they often pinpoint one key person - a teacher, a mentor, a foster carer.

Foster carers are often the ones who have helped young people in care to develop skills like resilience and empathy.

What a fab couple of weeks we have had! Our foster families have spent time at in Great Yarmouth and Dorset. We've heard so much of what they've been doing, making new friends and sharing memories.

"When I first became a foster carer, my brother was surprised. He always thought fostering was for older women or retired couples but never envisioned younger, single men getting involved."

80% of foster carers across the UK are females in households which have both male and female carers, the female is often the main caregiver.

We have some fantastic foster carers, including Asrat.

Most children in foster care will have experienced difficult circumstances- abuse, neglect, broken attachments.

Foster carers help children build positive memories, through life story work, memory boxes, celebrating milestones and capturing those 'firsts'.
