Fostering in Greater London

Interested in Fostering in Greater London?

Fostering is one of the most meaningful and life-changing things you can do — both for a child in need and for yourself. Across Greater London, there are hundreds of children and young people who, through no fault of their own, are unable to live with their birth families. They need safe, stable, and supportive homes where they can begin to rebuild trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

At Family Works, we’re proud to be one of the UK’s trusted independent fostering agencies. With a child-first approach and over a decade of experience, we support families and individuals across Greater London who are ready to open their homes and hearts. Whether you’re completely new to fostering or looking to transfer, our expert and friendly team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Who Can Become a Foster Carer?

One of the most common questions we’re asked is: “Can I foster?”
And our answer is almost always: Yes, you probably can.

You don’t need to be married, own a home, or have children of your own to foster. Our carers come from all walks of life — different ages, backgrounds, cultures, and careers.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk more.
