Our information events are the perfect first step. Whether you’d prefer to join online from home or meet us in person, these sessions are designed to give you a real insight into fostering with Cumbria:

Watch a short presentation about fostering with our service (online only)
Learn about the support, training, and different types of foster care we offer
Find out what the approval process looks like
Hear directly from experienced foster carers
Ask us any questions you may have

Wherever you are on your fostering journey – just starting to think about it, or ready to take the next step – we’d love you to join us.

Upcoming events

Wednesday 18 November - Join our online Homestays information session at 12pm to find out more about becoming a host. Our Homestays hosts open their homes to young people aged 16 to 21 who are leaving care or at risk of homelessness, providing a safe and supportive place to live, everyday guidance and the reassurance of a trusted adult. During our online event you’ll be able to watch a short presentation about our Homestays scheme and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
