If you were thinking about fostering a child, how would you feel about fostering with a Not for Profit charity?

Are you looking for an agency with a ‘family feel?

Or maybe with an agency who would respect your own ‘unique’ skills?

Would you prefer to be a part of a smaller fostering charity where each person has a ‘sense of belonging’?

Maybe, you are more concerned about ‘support and training‘ with an agency that would give you this 24/7?

Caritas Care is all these things, and so much more!

Why not make today ‘unique’ and ‘look into fostering’ with Caritas Care?

Caritas Care is a ‘Not for Profit fostering charity’ who are proud of their accolade of Ofsted ‘Outstanding‘ status. They have a ‘unique’ family feel where each person has a sense of belonging and a sense of pride, and more importantly, they each represent the ethos of Caritas Care…

‘Every child deserves opportunities for chances to live the best life they can.’

‘My social worker Lucy is amazing…’

Lucy has been fantastic from the very beginning, she has been my Social worker throughout the whole process, and she is with me now as I enter my fostering career.

From the very beginning, support is always available to you. The training is brilliant and very professionally put together and ran by the team. Caritas Care keeps training to the schedules, and never throughout the process has anything ever been cancelled. The sessions are punctual, informative and friendly… and I thoroughly enjoyed them!

‘I feel that larger organisations don’t have the closeness that you need…’

‘I feel that larger organisations lose things. They lose the closeness that you need, whereas Caritas Care march on for the better. Caritas always have the time to spend with you, and together, we do lots of work to plan new ways with new ideas to mentor our new foster carers’.

 Caritas Care – ‘I knew straight away; they were the one for me…’

‘I knew immediately that Caritas Care was the right one for me’. They gave me advice and support on the financial side of fostering because I had no idea about that, and it was necessary.’

Is now the right time to foster?

‘Initially, I thought it would be better if I waited until I was married and had a family, and then I would either become a Foster carer or apply to adopt a child. However, I am single, and I have my job as an Occupational Therapist, so I began thinking to myself when it was actually going to be a good time?’

Caritas Care – Making a difference to children’s lives.

Sarah went into foster care when she was 14 years of age, and met her foster parent, Gaynor; her ‘Mummy-G.

The full extent of the medical problems facing Sarah did not come to light until she came to live with her fostering family. Sarah was attending a special needs school but, she was 14 and had not yet been diagnosed as deaf.

Her foster family supported Sarah in getting bilateral hearing aids, and this helped Sarah find her voice so she can now engage fully in conversations. This also enhanced her ability to learn, and she was awarded student of the year at college after she passed her entry levels in maths and English. This means that she will now be able to undertake a health and social care course at college.

‘Gaynor was crying ‘tears of joy’ when I first got my hearing aid because I could hear ‘the birds singing for the first time ‘.Sarah Lal – Foster child with Caritas Care

Our birth children felt valued…

‘Caritas care has valued our birth children, and their views have been elicited, this is so important to us as a family. Our children feel that their own voices have been heard and valued, it is essential for them too’.
