Welcome to fostering
Start your journey today
Talk to any of our foster carers and they'll tell you about the rewards and satisfaction fostering gives them. Helping to make even a small difference to a child's life is hugely satisfying.
If you are thinking about fostering or are an existing carer who would like to join our service, then you have come to the right place!
We are part of a new partnership with three other local councils in Lancashire and Cumbria and our regional fostering support hub, 'Foster with us', is available to help you in any way they can.
With a dedicated and experienced team ready to talk to you during the initial stages, they will answer any questions you have, discuss and advise on what might work best for your circumstances and help you through the early stages of the application process.
Local children of all ages need loving homes.
