The 2024 Foster Care Fortnight campaign has inspired many individuals to explore the rewarding path of fostering. If you’re among those considering this life-changing decision, you might be wondering, “What kind of fostering agency is right for me?”

When deciding to work with a fostering agency instead of your local authority, you’ll find a variety of options. There are large national agencies, smaller local ones, private businesses, and not-for-profit organisations or charities. The choice of which agency to work with is a significant one. It will shape not only your initial assessment process but also the ongoing support you receive for years to come.

At Caritas Care, we believe in a support ethos that ensures you feel and know we are here for you whenever you need us. As a charity established for 90 years, with 26 years dedicated to fostering, we have a long history of supporting families in the North West in their fostering journeys. Unlike private businesses, our focus is not on profit. Every penny of our funding is reinvested into meeting the needs of the children and families we support, enhancing their potential and well-being.

Why Choose Caritas Care?

One of the unique aspects of Caritas Care is our broader commitment to vulnerable groups in society. Our workplace is a diverse community, including volunteers, carers, people with learning and physical disabilities enjoying day care or supported living, and individuals accessing our community centre or homelessness provision, to mention just a few. Our comprehensive website, www.caritascare.org.uk, provides a detailed view of our community services alongside our fostering and adoption services. We strive to support vulnerable community members by offering them choices, chances, and opportunities to live their lives to the fullest.

The Urgent Need for Foster Carers

The demand for foster carers is more urgent now than ever before. We need compassionate individuals to join us in offering quality foster care to vulnerable children and young people. By fostering with us, you become part of a partnership with a not-for-profit charity that upholds the vision and passion of its founders: to give all children and young people the opportunities in life they deserve.

Choosing a fostering agency is a crucial step in your fostering journey. By opting for a not-for-profit organisation like Caritas Care, you’re ensuring that your efforts and the agency’s resources are dedicated solely to the well-being and development of children and families. Join us in making a difference—one child’s life at a time.
