Why do children and young people need fostering?

Children need fostering for a variety of reasons, but it all comes down to providing them with a safe, loving, and stable environment when they can't live with their birth families.

Children don't always need long-term foster care. Sometimes, their parents might be going through tough times, facing challenges like illness, financial difficulties, or other personal issues that make it hard for them to care for their children.

Some have experienced domestic abuse, substance misuse, abuse or neglect. For many children and young people, fostering is often their first positive experience of family life.

Fostering offers these children a temporary home where they can feel secure and supported. It's a way to ensure they have the care and attention they need during a difficult period in their lives.

By fostering, you can make a huge difference, giving them the chance to thrive and feel valued while their families work through their challenges.
