Fostering is a community-wide effort, and not everyone is able to become a foster carer right now. But there are still many meaningful ways you can support children in care and the foster families who look after them. Whether you want to volunteer your time, raise awareness, or support us through your workplace or community, your involvement can make a real difference.
Volunteer with the Independent Visitor Service
Independent Visitors meet with their matched young person once a month, typically on weekends.
Workplace support with Fostering Friendly
If you’re an employer, you can join the programme and become a Fostering Friendly Employer.
Become a County of Care Community Partner
Your organisation can play a key role in helping foster carers feel supported and valued.
Take part in a Foster Walk
One simple but powerful way to help is by joining or organising a Foster Walk in support of The Fostering Network. These walks raise vital funds and awareness for foster carers and children in care across the UK. Whether you walk solo, with friends, or as part of a community group, your efforts will help provide resources, training, and support to those who need it most.
You can also donate directly or encourage others to take part. Every step counts towards building a stronger, more supportive fostering community.
