Celebrating Foster Care Fortnight with Smooth Radio

Foster with North East is the fostering support hub, connecting 12 local councils across the region. Together, we support hundreds of foster carers through the application process and beyond, ensuring babies, children, and young people receive the care they need when they need it most.

Join us for Foster Care Fortnight

To celebrate Foster Care Fortnight (12th May - 25th May), we have teamed up with Smooth Radio to host a series of events across the North East. These events are a fantastic opportunity to meet our teams, learn more about fostering options, the children and young people we support and discover how fostering could work for you.  Plus, you'll have the opportunity to try your hand at our buzzwire house!

Fostering and you

There are many ways to foster, whether you are interested in fostering for weekends, holidays, a few weeks, several months, or long term. We would love to discuss how fostering could fit into your lifestyle.

No matter your background, family structure, gender, relationship status, ethnicity, or living situation, you have the potential to be an amazing foster carer for a child in the North East.
