Fostering in Gateshead
In Gateshead we have a dedicated team of experienced, knowledgeable staff working within our Fostering Services. Our slogan is ‘Fostering Changes Lives' which sums up what people like you can achieve by providing children with care and support within the safety and security of your home environment.
Fostering isn’t always easy and can be very challenging but by making even the smallest difference to a child’s life, it can become one of the most rewarding things you can do.
It doesn’t matter about your age, marital status, sexual orientation or ethnicity – we would like to invite you to come and join us as registered foster carers and help change the lives of children in Gateshead who need your care and support.
