“It’s a great opportunity to change a child’s life.”

Josh came into care aged 8 with his belongings in a black binbag, he tells us how his foster carers changed his life in this short film. Foster carers offer safe and nurturing homes to our vulnerable children so they too can enjoy a happy childhood. Fostering is incredibly rewarding, offers great flexibility and puts family at its heart. Training is local, support is 24/7 and your family could receive £483 per child, per week. Find out more by visiting the website or calling our friendly team on 0800 801 530.

Join Essex County Council’s fostering community and together we can transform children's lives.
