Foster Care Fortnight
2020-05-11 - 2020-05-24
Foster Care Fortnight is an annual campaign organised by The Fostering Network with the aim of raising the profile of fostering, acknowledging the incredible work of our existing foster carers and highlighting the need for more people to come forward as potential foster carers.

At Slough Children’s Services Trust we’re always looking for more foster carers to help provide a loving, nurturing home to some of the borough’s more vulnerable children and in return we can offer you:

✓Excellent training opportunities
✓24/7 support
✓Generous financial payments

Of course it’s not just financial rewards you’ll receive, helping to change the life of a vulnerable child and offer them a brighter future is priceless.

There will be challenges, but with the support and guidance you’ll receive from our family placement service, foster carers and other professionals, we will help you meet these challenges and you will gain tremendous satisfaction from having been an important part of a child’s life.

Many different people become foster carers and there is no such thing as a typical foster carer. Ultimately, we are looking for foster families who can offer support, guidance and a positive family environment in which children feel secure, valued and cared for.

Interested? Get in touch to find out how we can support you on an exciting new journey.

Fostering Information Session
2020-05-21 18:00 - 20:00 UTC
Foster carers look after children or young people who cannot live with their own families. This could be due to reasons that include illness, relationship breakdown or concerns about their welfare.

In March 2019, there were 56,150 children in England living with foster families. These families provide children and young people with a safe and nurturing family environment, caring for them as though they were their own children.

In Slough we have a fantastic team of foster carers but we always have a need for more! Is this something that interests you? Do you have space in your home and space in your heart to take in a child in need, either in the short-term or long-term? If so then we’d love to hear from you so join us for our online fostering information session to find out more. Just email foster@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk for further details. We look forward to seeing you there!

In the meantime, you can find out more about fostering within this website. Alternatively you can contact one of our friendly advisors at foster@sloughchildrenfirst.co.uk or by phoning 01753 690777.
