Fostering monthly drop-in event

Thinking about fostering?

Would you like to speak to someone about fostering a child?

Perhaps you’ve fostered already or are completely new to fostering?

Then come along to our next Fostering monthly drop-in event in our Edinburgh office to speak to one of our social workers. We are looking for foster carers for children of all ages who could provide short term, long term and respite foster care.

What will happen at the Fostering monthly drop-in event?

You can ask as many questions as you like to help you decide if fostering is right for you.

We can tell you about:

• The fostering process
• The children waiting to be fostered
• The very competitive fees and allowances we offer our foster carers
• The excellent support available to all our foster carers

We can also give you some information to take away with you on fostering a child on a permanent basis through us.
