Become a Foster Carer

Fostering children is a great service to brighten their future. Fostering is defined as taking temporary parental responsibility for a child outside of your own family. This is usually a child that has been placed into the care of the local authority who will then seek to settle the child into a family home environment.

What People Say

What real people said about sunbeam fostering agency

Karen Thorn Foster Carer

This job is probably one of my favourites.  Every day is different, every day has new challenges and everyday has new rewards. It's not always easy but each challenge you go through with the child bonds you and makes you both stronger for each other.

London
We have been fostering for the last 8 years and feel proud to be a part of the Sunbeam family. At the beginning, we thought it's a tough job, but the skills to foster initial training and the whole assessment procedure to become a carer was interesting, and it gave us both a broad insight into both the tough and rewarding side of what we were likely to encounter.

"Fostering is a rewarding experience as it allows you to actually make a difference for a child/young person. I feel happy being able to make such a difference whether it is for one day or several years."

"When they told me that I had been approved for fostering, well I just cried. I was an emotional wreck and was so happy that I just couldn’t hold back my very, very, happy tears."
