Become a Foster Carer

It's often said that home is where the heart is, and we strongly agree. Home can be anywhere a child feels safe, can laugh and share their dreams. Where they learn and grow as young people. Foster homes offer a place to nurture a child in this way and whilst they may come in all shapes and sizes, they share this in common.

Who are Foster Carers

Foster Carers are single people, couples or families who make their homes available to children who are, for whatever reason, unable to live with their own families. They are not trying to take your place and will work with Social Services and with you to make sure that your child is well looked after and has their needs met. Some Foster Carers give full time care, others give part time care, known as respite, to give families a regular short break from caring. They are not Powys County Council employees.
