Our mission is to create brighter futures for children and young people. We do this by providing fostering, residential and support services where children and young people can feel safe and cared for. We support them to make positive relationships which give them the confidence to succeed.
Foster Care Fortnight takes places from 10-23 May 2021. The theme this year is #WhyWeCare, encouraging people involved in fostering to tell everyone what makes them want to help children and young people.
St Christopher’s runs two fostering services, one in the Eastern Region and one in the West Midlands. Between the regions there are 54 foster families caring for 70 children and young people.
St Christopher’s is looking for people who want to create brighter futures for children and young people through fostering. We are a registered charity, which means we can put the needs of young people at the heart of all of our work.
When you are a foster carer, a young person moves into your home with you. You look after them just as you would with your own child, helping them with education, friendships and enjoying their childhood.
There is no one-size-fits-all foster carer – St Christopher’s welcomes applicants from all backgrounds with all different life experiences, as long as you can meet these requirements to foster:
