Brent’s fostering service is looking for more foster carers; you could make a significant difference to a child’s life.
As a Brent foster carer, you will play a vital role in providing a safe, stable, and nurturing home for children and young people who are unable to live with their birth families.

What We Offer:
- A generous weekly fostering allowance of £350–£495 per child (depending on needs and experience)
