Fostering

Would you like to have an informal chat about fostering to see if it might be right for you?

We have four events coming up. Please see the fostering event page and come along.

In Southwark we have a well established and dedicated fostering service with a great support network. We have up to 350 children placed with Southwark foster carers at any one time.

Southwark has a rich and diverse population and the children who require foster care come from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Wherever possible, we seek to place children with families of the same cultural background in order to sustain their sense of cultural identity.
