Fostering: come and talk to us!

If you are interested in fostering, join us at one of our informal drop-in sessions.

Our drop-ins run a couple of times each month at venues across Central Bedfordshire. They're a relaxed opportunity to find out more about fostering, have an informal chat and ask any questions you may have. There's no pressure to make an enquiry on the day, it's simply a chance to hear more and see if fostering could be right for you.

As well as a member of the fostering team, experienced foster carers will often be there to share their own experiences and talk honestly about what fostering is like.
