We are a family-run independent fostering agency that provides a specialist fostering service to our Local Authorities. We work specifically in North AND East London, from our Wanstead office (including Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Harringay, Islington, Redbridge and Waltham Forest). We find and train the highest calibre of foster carers and (along with our sister companies Next Step for Croydon, East London, Thames Valley and Kent – and Safehouses for Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk) we carefully match them with children across North and East of London.
Finding the best foster carer(s) and home(s) for our looked after children is at the heart of everything that we do. We want to give our young people stability and a more positive future and it is our dedicated foster carers that make the difference.
We are recruiting right now, so if you have a spare bedroom and a genuine commitment to help children, please Contact Us.
