Our Youth Team
We are one of the only fostering agencies in the UK with a dedicated youth team!
Acting as friends and mentors, our youth workers are there for your foster child whenever they’re needed.
Making an impact – our wonderful youth team!
Sometimes, a foster child needs a friend, someone who isn’t a carer or social worker.
That’s exactly what our youth workers are – friends.
Our youth team are here to support you and your foster child as and when needed. It’s their job to help foster children form and maintain healthy relationships both in and outside the home. We:
- Run group activities, where foster children can join, have fun and meet other children in a similar situation.
- Plan one-to-one activities with your foster child, ensuring they get plenty of time and attention dedicated to them!
