We provide local support in to foster carers
Sunbeam provides local support for carers in and surrounding areas through our registered office in Coventry and resource centre in Northampton. Which means you will have a supervising social worker local to you and available to support you if you need them. Also, we have other support staff on 24/7/365 basis who will help you with any help and support you need while fostering with Sunbeam.
Sunbeam is foster carers’ preferred partner
At Sunbeam, our first priority is the needs of our foster children and it is extremely important that we are able to provide them with the best match possible. As such, when children are removed from their families and moved to foster families, they undergo a lot of trauma; therefore finding them a close matched family within their area will support them and have less impact on their lives as they will be able to stay in their local school, be able to see their friends etc.
This can only be achieved by recruiting foster carers in the local regions. Hence if you are someone who is looking to become a foster parent then complete our call back request and we will progress your application as soon as we can.
As one of the largest and most progressive independent fostering agencies based in Barking and Dagenham, we provide quality family placements to children in our care and competitive foster care allowances to our carers.
