Right now, there are children in your local community who need you.
They need a shoulder to lean on. A person to believe in their dreams. To believe in them. Your sexual orientation, your ethnicity, whether you’re married or single, and whether you own or rent your home – these help make up who you are, but they don’t factor into your foster application. We celebrate everything that makes you unique.
Almost anyone can foster as everyone brings something new (and wonderful) to the world of fostering. We are inclusive. Regardless of your background, we welcome everyone. After all, what counts is the personality, skills and experience you bring. We believe a more diverse mix is a massive bonus.
Foster Wales is not your standard fostering agency. We’re a nationwide collective of 22 Local Authority fostering teams throughout Wales.
Remaining local is at the heart of everything we do. We look at the whole picture to ensure we do the best for the children in our care. We work to maintain friendships. To help keep children connected to schools, clubs and communities that matter to them.
Our priority will always be keeping the children in our care somewhere they are familiar with and maintaining their important ties. Keeping them close to the local places they know and love for as long as it’s right for them. We look at maintaining their sense of belonging and identity. It’s all about understanding and caring for each child and knowing what is best for them.
As a foster parent with Foster Wales Torfaen, you’re the person who makes all of this possible.
