Become a Foster Carer and Be a Part of Their Story
In North Somerset, we have children and young people who are waiting for a foster care placement where they can be supported to grow and thrive.
When you foster with us, you help write new chapters of a young person’s life.
Why should You FosTer with North Somerset Council?
As a part of North Somerset Council, we are dedicated to ensuring the best outcomes for our young people. We’re on our mission to find more foster carers locally who are dedicated to providing the essential love and support children need.
Committed to creating positive outcomes
Children come first. Our aim is to have the capacity to place children within local foster family settings where they can thrive in a time which can be uneasy and upsetting for a child or young person.
As a council, we are committed to supporting our foster carers, which means our children and young people receive the best support and care possible, allowing them to achieve incredible things.
All investment goes towards our children
We are a not-for-profit government organisation, which means all investment goes directly back into our service, funding valuable training for our teams and foster carers and ensuring that our children have the best experiences and are loved and supported whilst they’re not able to live with their families.
Support and Training is never far away
All of our training and support offering is facilitated locally, meaning that you will never have to go far.
When fostering with us, you’ll be welcomed into our foster carer community and have the support of your peers from the outset.
