There are many children who are in need to foster placements in Essex. There is no such thing as the 'ideal' foster family, so we are looking for people who can meet the individual needs of these children.
Many children come into care at ages 10 and up. They need love and care as much as younger children and can be one of the most rewarding age groups to look after.
Wherever possible we try to place siblings together. Many foster children value their relationships with their brothers and sisters most about their family, so staying together is important to them.
