Greater London Fostering

About

This independent fostering agency operates throughout London and surrounding areas including Essex, Kent, and Surrey, connecting children in need with suitable foster families. The organization focuses on placing children as close as possible to their existing schools, friends, and communities to maintain stability during challenging transitions. Founded by an experienced professional with over two decades in the fostering sector, the agency serves all London boroughs and works with people from diverse backgrounds who can provide safe, stable homes. The agency provides comprehensive support to foster carers including dedicated supervising social workers, ongoing training programs, and assistance available beyond standard business hours. Financial support ranges from £479.50 weekly for younger children to £507.50 for those aged 11 and above, covering both care costs and recognition payments. Foster carers do not need prior experience working with children, though they typically require a spare bedroom except in cases involving infant placements where babies may share the carer's room.
