Foster Care Myths, Busted!

  • You don’t need to own your own home.
  • You can be a single carer.
  • You can be part of the LGBTQIA community.
  • You can be a carer living with a disability.
All that you need is a spare bedroom and the commitment to making a positive difference in a child’s life.

You will receive a fostering allowance of around £24,500 a year (around £2,040 on average per month). This is tax-free and will not affect any state benefits you receive.

We also provide a bridging allowance, to make sure that you can cover the costs of care.
