Is there an age limit
to fostering?

No, there is no upper age limit for fostering! Our foster carers come from all stages of life and bring their own strengths and experiences to fostering.


Age should not stop you from giving a loving home to a child. We welcome carers of all ages, as long as you can emotionally and physically carry out day to day care. If you are over 21 and have the health and energy needed, you can become a foster carer!


Whatever your age, we encourage you to apply. We’ll offer the support and training you need to start fostering.
