Could you foster?
More people like Nina and Keith, who offer their hearts and homes to vulnerable young people, are needed in Portsmouth.
We welcome foster carers from all backgrounds, regardless of nationality, relationship status, or religious beliefs.
There’s no upper age limit, and you don’t need to own a home. Prospective carers must be at least 21 years old, have a spare room, some experience with young people, and a lot of patience, resilience, and a positive outlook.
We offer our foster carers fantastic allowances for the children in their care, thorough training and continuing 24/7 support, access to the award-winning Mockingbird model of care, social activities, and free membership to The Fostering Network.
If you have further questions to ask, give us a call on 023 9283 4071 or email us at fostering@portsmouthcc.gov.uk and a member of our team will answer any and all questions you may have.
