Change a life by fostering

Foster care is incredibly rewarding, and it really matters. Children in care have often experienced trauma in their past. They need foster carers who can help them heal. They need you.

When you foster, you provide the safe and stable home that a child needs. You could help a child to unlock their true potential.

Essex County Council finds homes for hundreds of children with foster carers and families like yours. We're rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Nearly anyone can be a foster carer. You can make a real difference.
