About us

The voice of foster care

The Fostering Network is the UK’s leading charity for everyone involved in fostering. We aim to make life better for fostered children and young people, and the families that care for them.

As the UK’s voice of foster care we work with our members in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to share knowledge and best practice, promote fostering and campaign for positive changes in foster care at the highest level.

We are a membership organisation and work with and for over 55,000 foster carers throughout the UK, as well as fostering service members and local foster care associations.
