Every child deserves stability, support, and the chance to dream big. Sadly, not all children have that. Across Cambridgeshire, there are children who need caring adults who can offer a warm home and a brighter future. Could that someone be you?

When you foster with us, you’re joining a community that truly cares about you and the children you welcome. Together, we can create wonderful experiences and lasting memories for children who need them most.

Emma – a foster carer who, over the last 20 years, has welcomed 78 foster children.

“Every child who has walked through our front door has become part of our family, whether they stayed for a single night or many years. Our extended family has always treated them exactly the same — children who need love, safety, and a sense of belonging. That’s why we’re proud to foster with Cambridgeshire, because it feels like working with people who believe the same.”

Why Foster with Us?

We know fostering is a big decision. Here’s what we offer:

• Dedicated Support: A social worker for you and your family.
• Training That Empowers: Pre approval training and ongoing courses to help you feel confident.
• Community Connections: Support groups and an experienced foster carer mentor.
• Financial Assistance: Allowances to help you provide quality care.

Who Can Foster?
Fostering isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being willing. What matters is that you have space in your home, time in your life, and a family ready for this life changing decision.

Take Your First Step
Fostering is incredibly rewarding. You’ll give a child the chance to thrive — and, in return, you’ll gain experiences and relationships that change your life forever.
