Why do foster carers transfer?

• Have you struggled getting suitable matches through a fostering agency?
• Are you finding you have gaps between fostering and need more stability?
• Is travelling out of area for school or fostering support making life tricky?
• Maybe you've realised your current service isn't right for you or you would prefer to directly support the community around you?

You don't need to be a 'full time' foster carer to transfer to us, we need emergency and short break support, too.

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 fostering brothers and sisters, teenagers, specialist foster carers who look after children with additional needs or disabilities and Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children foster carers. Could you share your home to shape their future?
