About
Fostering Barnsley
Fostering Barnsley is a part of Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, and we’re proud to support children and young people in care in our community. All our children and young people across Barnsley deserve a loving home full of care and support. Our children and young people in care have a right to stay close to their family, friends, school and the community they know and love. This means they can have the same opportunities and life chances as every other child.
Our promise to Barnsley's
young people
Our amazing foster carers are invaluable. Their everyday support is magical: thanks to our foster carers’ help we see children and young people bloom and flourish. The more foster carers we can welcome to our fostering community, the more stable and loving homes we can create for Barnsley’s children and young people in care.
We welcome people from all ages, backgrounds and experiences to give children a positive future in the right home for them. Becoming a foster carer is as easy- just click below to find out more.
