About Us

Fostering North Somerset, part of North Somerset Council’s Children’s Services, is a not-for-profit fostering organisation dedicated to finding caring homes for local children. All funds directly support children, providing them the opportunities and care they deserve.

Who are we?

At Fostering North Somerset, our aim is simple; to find loving and supportive homes for North Somerset’s children and young people, when they may not be able to live with their families. As a not-for-profit, all investment goes into supporting our children and ensuring they have the opportunities that other children have.

Our team is made up of dedicated and caring professionals, and we are fortunate enough to have a network of amazing foster carers who open their homes and provide amazing support and care for our children and young people. Our foster carers and team work hard to facilitate the best outcomes for our young people, and we are extremely passionate about North Somerset’s children and young people.

Our Mission

We strive to achieve the best outcomes for the children and young people of North Somerset, helping them to achieve everything they are capable of, and more.

Our Children

We are dedicated to supporting our children and young people and no two are the same. Some of our children may be waiting for an adoptive home as moving back with their families might not be possible. Some might require fostering on a long-term basis as adoption isn’t in their best interest. Some might require fostering for a few days or months whilst decisions and arrangements about their care are being made. And some might need somewhere to call home until they reach an age of independence.

No two are the same, but our children and young people all require one key thing – a safe place to call Home.
