Can I foster if I have pets?
Yes! Many foster carers have pets, and we understand they're an important part of the family.

Pets can often provide comfort, companionship and routine for children. During the assessment process, we'll consider how your pets fit into your home environment, and how that would work with your fostering journey.

“Our dogs have given so much love and attention to the children. It’s as if they can sense their fear and uncertainty and want them to help them through their first few days in their new home.” Jayne, foster carer

🐾 We'd love to meet your four-legged family members (or any other pets you may have!). Get in touch to enquire!

Alla i feithrin os oes gen i anifeiliaid anwes?
Ydw! Mae gan lawer o ofalwyr maeth anifeiliaid anwes, ac rydym yn deall eu bod yn rhan bwysig o'r teulu.

Yn aml, gall anifeiliaid anwes ddarparu cysur, cwmni a threfn arferol i blant. Yn ystod y broses asesu, byddwn yn ystyried sut mae eich anifeiliaid anwes yn ffitio i amgylchedd eich cartref, a sut y byddai hynny'n gweithio gyda'ch taith maethu.

“Mae ein cŵn wedi rhoi cymaint o gariad a sylw i’r plant. Mae fel pe baent yn gallu teimlo eu hofn a’u hansicrwydd ac eisiau iddyn nhw eu helpu trwy eu dyddiau cyntaf yn eu cartref newydd.” Jayne, gofalwr maeth

🐾 Byddem wrth ein bodd yn cwrdd ag aelodau pedair coes eich teulu (neu unrhyw anifeiliaid anwes eraill sydd gennych!). Cysylltwch i ymholi!

🎨 Artists in the making!🎨

We might be a little biased but just look at what our foster carers created at yesterday's Brush & Brew wellbeing session! It was a lovely chance to take a break, get creative and spend time together….plus we’ve never seen such concentration on their faces! 🤭

A huge thank you to Tipsy Kahlo for delivering such a fantastic session, and to our foster carers for making it such a lovely event. 💜



🎨Artistiaid wrthi'n cael eu creu!🎨

Efallai ein bod ni ychydig yn rhagfarnllyd ond edrychwch ar yr hyn a greodd ein gofalwyr maeth yn sesiwn lles Brush & Brew ddoe! Roedd yn gyfle hyfryd i gymryd seibiant, bod yn greadigol a threulio amser gyda'n gilydd….ac nid ydym erioed wedi gweld cymaint o ganolbwyntio ar eu hwynebau! 🤭

Diolch yn fawr iawn i ‘Tipsy Kahlo’ am gyflwyno sesiwn mor wych, ac i’n gofalwyr maeth am ei wneud yn ddigwyddiad mor hyfryd. 💜

Can I foster if I'm gay?
Yes! Foster carers come from all backgrounds and walks of life.
What matters is your ability to provide a loving, supportive and safe home where a child can thrive. We welcome enquiries from LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.

“I had a lot of questions in the initial stages but found out all the information I needed from the team. To me, fostering means those children in need of a loving home get the support and love that they deserve.” Claire, foster carer

Alla i faethu os ydw i'n hoyw?
Ie! Daw gofalwyr maeth o bob cefndir a phob math o fywyd. Yr hyn sy'n bwysig yw eich gallu i ddarparu cartref cariadus, cefnogol a diogel lle gall plentyn ffynnu. Rydym yn croesawu ymholiadau gan unigolion a chyplau LGBTQ+.

“Roedd gen i lawer o gwestiynau yn y camau cychwynnol ond cefais yr holl wybodaeth oedd ei hangen arnaf gan y tîm. I mi, mae maethu yn golygu bod y plant hynny sydd angen cartref cariadus yn cael y gefnogaeth a'r cariad maen nhw'n ei haeddu.” Claire, gofalwr maeth

Can I foster if I'm in my 20s or 30s?
Yes! As long as you're over 21, you can enquire about becoming a foster carer.

We do encourage you to gain a bit of life experience, but age alone doesn't determine your ability to provide the care, support and stability a child needs.

Alla i faethu os ydw i yn fy 20au neu 30au?
Ydw! Cyn belled â'ch bod chi dros 21 oed, gallwch chi ymholi ynglŷn â dod yn ofalwr maeth.

Rydym yn eich annog i ennill ychydig o brofiad bywyd, ond nid yw oedran yn unig yn pennu eich gallu i ddarparu'r gofal, y gefnogaeth a'r sefydlogrwydd sydd eu hangen ar blentyn.
