There’s never been a better time to foster,  join Essex’s Fostering team to learn why.

Fostering Event

Fostering offers life-changing support for vulnerable children, at a time when they need it most. You’ve raised your own children. You’ve navigated life’s ups and downs. You already have the skills to foster.

Everyday routines — school runs, Sunday dinners, bedtime stories — mean everything to a child in care. Join Essex County Council foster carers and social workers this month at an exciting event to learn about becoming a foster carer. 

As well as outstanding support and training, you will receive £2,000 for your first year of fostering. There has never been a better time to start fostering.  

Join Essex County Council’s foster carers and team at the drop-in event on Saturday 18 October to discover how it can fit your career and family.
