Nearly 60,000 children live with foster families across the UK. For some, it will be a short stay before returning home or being adopted. For others, it will be long-term until they move into independence.
The Fostering Network has been championing and supporting foster care for nearly 40 years. Find out more about fostering and the work we do where you are: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales
We produce recommended minimum allowances for foster carers every year.
See our Together for Change campaign to get an understanding of the big issues affecting foster care today.
