All set up and ready to talk about fostering in Southampton Guildhall at Southampton Pride today, and tomorrow!

We encourage LGBTQ+ individuals and couples to foster with Southampton City Council. Having foster carers with different skills, knowledge and life experiences is important as our children and young people are from a wide variety of backgrounds with different reasons for being in care.

Start your fostering journey today!

Entry is free to Southampton Pride. 🌈
