About Us

Fosterplus was founded in 1996 and has extensive experience as an independent fostering agency. Continuity is important to us, and we look to create it in everything we do - most critically, for the children and young people in our care.

Many children who enter our care have experienced a disrupted childhood, and our aim is to break this cycle and provide greater stability. We do this by carefully matching the right Foster Parents to the right children and making sure we're always on hand with support, guidance and help.

Our expertise helps ensure more successful placements - and that's exactly the sort of continuity we want. This commitment is reflected in our mission:

"provide positive and stable family environments for the children and young people placed with our foster parents and ensure that, with the support of our foster parents, they can thrive emotionally and academically."

To provide this continuity, we focus on building and maintaining strong connections.
