Foster like our Lancashire foster carers – could you join them? 

Our new campaign celebrates our real foster carers from all different backgrounds, and we asked them what it's like to be a foster carer with us and how fostering fits in with their family.

They've also told us about some of the special memories they've shared with the children they have looked after, whether they are new to fostering or have been foster carers for many years.

We have local children of all ages and with differing needs so we are always looking for more foster carers who can provide the perfect homes to help them thrive.

If you are thinking of joining our Lancashire fostering community, we will work with you to find the best fostering fit for your family with our range of options from short breaks to long-term fostering arrangements. We'll support you all the way with our excellent training and support package, and our foster carers receive generous payments to help in their vital role
