Think you're too old to foster? 🤔

That's one of the biggest myths we hear.

The truth is there's no upper age limit for fostering. What matters most is having the time, patience and commitment to provide a safe and supportive home for a child.

If you've got life experience, you might have more to offer than you think ❤️

📊 Fostering comes with tax advantages too.
Foster carers benefit from HMRC's specialist fostering tax arrangements and also have access to expert financial advice through Foster Talk.
It's all part of making sure you feel supported - not just as a foster carer, but financially too.

Thinking about transferring? You might be surprised how straightforward it can be.

One of the biggest reasons foster carers tell us they've delayed transferring is because they think the process will be difficult.

In reality, our team is here to guide you through every step.

We'll explain the process clearly, answer your questions honestly and support you from your first enquiry until you're fully approved with Foster for Plymouth.

There's no pressure and no obligation - just a friendly conversation about what's right for you.

If you've ever wondered whether transferring could be the next step in your fostering journey, let's talk.

💭 Myth Monday | Let's bust another fostering myth...
❌ Myth: I can't foster because I'm LGBTQ+.
✅ Fact: LGBTQ+ people can make fantastic foster carers.
At Foster for Plymouth, we welcome applications from people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. What matters isn't who you love - it's your ability to provide a safe, loving and supportive home where a child can thrive.
If you've ever thought fostering wasn't for you because you're LGBTQ+, we'd love to show you otherwise.
👉 Visit fosterforplymouth.co.uk to find out more or get in touch for a friendly, no-obligation chat.
💚 Every day, people just like you change children's lives. Could you?

❤️ Some children need extra support and so do the carers who look after them.
Some fostering roles attract enhanced financial support to reflect the additional skills, commitment and care required.
You'll never be expected to face those challenges alone.
We'll support you every step of the way.

🌊☀️ We had a shore-ly brilliant time at our recent Foster for Plymouth beach day!

Organised by our amazing Social Committee, made up of foster carers who volunteer their time to bring our fostering family together, the day was packed with fun from start to finish. Children, young people and carers enjoyed sandcastle building, rounders and even surfing lessons, with plenty of laughter, encouragement and confidence-building along the way.

Events like these are about much more than a day at the beach. They help create friendships, build support networks and remind everyone that when you foster with Foster for Plymouth, you're part of a wider family.

A huge thank you to our fantastic Social Committee for making waves this summer with not only our beach day, but also trips to Butlin's, Splashdown and the much-loved slip and slide event. 🏄‍♂️🏖️

Could you make a difference to a child's life and become part of our fostering family?
