Hello. Welcome to Lancashire County Council's fostering service

Its Foster Care Fortnight!

Do you want to join the growing number of people who have taken the first step towards helping a child in Lancashire? Then this year's Foster Care Fortnight, running from 14 - 27 May, will give you the ideal opportunity.

Have you got the time to care in your life and nurture a child? If you have ever thought about becoming a foster carer then call 0800 195 1183 or fill in the enquiry form. We are also holding a number of events if you would like to go along to one of those to find out more.

We're working together with 22 other local authorities in the north west to highlight the urgent and growing need to recruit more foster carers. Hopefully you'll see or hear one of our You Can Foster TV or radio adverts highlighting that all foster carers are different and there really is no typical person. We try to match a child or young person with a foster carer chosen to best suit their needs and keep then in their local area.
