Why Join Us?

One of the main benefits of fostering for Brighton & Hove City Council is that you will be looking after local children, and benefitting from our local support and training.

The ages of our children range from new born babies through to teenagers.

The services that work with the children, their families and the foster carers are all under the same umbrella of Brighton & Hove City Council; This means that these significant people form a more effective team and can quickly and accurately share the relevant information for the children’s benefit 

There is no middle agency to deal with. This makes sense to us.

If you foster for us it means that you will receive excellent training, financial rewards and 24 hour support from our team of experienced professionals.
