More benefits of becoming a foster carer

We want foster carers to feel supported for the important job they do. Receiving fostering fees and allowances doesn't impact your receipt of most benefits and offers financial incentives, such as a dedicated tax-free allowance and Qualifying Care Relief. Find more fostering finance information on North East fostering fees and allowances.

When you share your home, your help, love and patience could enable children and young people help them to develop the trust they need to build other important relationships in their future lives.
