Fostering Agencies

[Starry231]

Hi,

I'm planning to hopefully begin fostering soon, can anyone recommend me any good agencies that are around Leicestershire?

try capstone foster care.

@Starry231 Can I ask why an agency and not the LA?

Morning,

I've recently commenced the fostering process too. I can wholeheartedly recommend Young People at Heart. They're one of the smaller agencies, though actually came recommended by a friend of mine. They appear to be really authentic and my experiences so far have been nothing but positive.
The majority of individuals who work there have significant experience within safeguarding and working as part of the local authority.

I'm currently a detective working within a children's safeguarding team so I'd like to think I have a fair gage for social workers and professionals.

Good luck with everything.

I'm with the children's family trust in Bromsgrove and their amazing, but they have a east midlands team https://thecft.org.uk

When I first started looking into fostering, I remember feeling overwhelmed by all the agencies and wondering which one would actually suit me. Along the way, I came across Sunbeam Fostering Agency. What really stood out was that they work in so many different locations, including around Leicestershire. I thought I’d just share in case you’re still looking — it might be worth keeping in mind on your journey.

Hi! That’s really exciting that you’re thinking of fostering. 😊 If you’re looking around Leicestershire, I’d recommend checking out Footprints Foster Care. They’re really supportive and helpful for new foster carers, and they cover the area you’re in. Definitely worth giving them a look!
