Why do foster carers transfer?

Have you struggled getting suitable matches through a fostering agency? Maybe you're finding you have gaps between fostering and need more stability? Perhaps over time, you've found your current service isn't right for you or you want to directly help the community around you?

In the North East, we have the highest number of children coming into foster care of all regions in England. We urgently need more foster carers for children and young people of all ages but in particular for brothers and sisters, teenagers, children with additional needs or disabilities and unaccompanied asylum seeking children. Could you share your home to shape their future? You don't need to be a 'full time' foster carer to transfer to us, we need emergency and short break foster carers, too.
