Fostering Information Sessions

Foster carers look after children or young people who cannot live with their own families. This could be due to reasons that include illness, relationship breakdown or concerns about their welfare.

In March 2022, there were 57,540 children in England living with foster families. This is 70 per cent of the 82,170 children in care looked after away from home.

These families provided children and young people with a safe and nurturing family environment, caring for them as though they were their own children.

In Slough we have a fantastic team of foster carers but we always have a need for more!

Is this something that interests you?

Do you have space in your home and space in your heart to take in a child in need, either in the short-term or long-term?

If so then we’d love to hear from you so join us at one of our fostering information sessions to find out more.

To book your place, or for further information, just email foster@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk

Our fostering service has just been rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted so there has never been a better time to join us.

We look forward to seeing you!
