Find out more about fostering

If you want to know more, we'd love to chat with you. But, if you're not ready for that, there are other ways you can get in touch.

Curious about fostering? Join us at one of our events

We're coming to Thame and Wallingford  – so if you're curious about what's involved in fostering and whether you could be a perfect match, pop in to find out more.

Whether it’s early days and you're just exploring what's involved, you have questions that you need answering, or you've been thinking about it for a while, and you're ready to take the next step – pop in and find out more from one of our experts.

What happens next is entirely up to you.

Find out:

  • What it takes to be a great foster carer
  • How fostering works in Oxfordshire and what that means for our children
  • The different types of fostering we provide
  • The unique support and training we offer – from the moment you sign up
  • What financial support do you receive – in pay and expenses

And, of course, we'll be able to answer any questions you may have.
