Could You Change a Child's Life?
At Bromley Council, we're looking for caring, resilient, and committed people to become foster carers for local children and young people who need a safe, stable, and nurturing home.
Fostering is a unique opportunity to make a lasting difference to a child's future. Whether you're supporting a young child, a teenager, siblings, or a child with additional needs, you can help provide the stability, encouragement, and care they need to thrive.
As a foster carer, you'll play a key role in helping children feel safe, build confidence, achieve at school, and develop positive relationships, all while being supported by an experienced team of professionals.
Fostering can be temporary or long-term, depending on a child's needs.
Who Can Foster?
You don't need any formal qualifications or previous fostering experience to become a foster carer.
We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life. You may be single, married, retired, employed, self-employed, a homeowner, or renting your home.
