The Pompey Games

On Saturday 12 September, Foster Portsmouth will be at The Pompey Games, a free day of family fun at the Mountbatten Centre to celebrate 100 years of Portsmouth’s city status.

It’s the chance to come and learn first-hand about the rewards fostering can bring, and to get answers to any questions people may have from our experienced team.

We need more foster carers from diverse backgrounds to reflect the looked after children and young people in our city. If you are 21+ and have a spare bedroom, then you can foster with us regardless of your age, gender, faith, ethnicity, sexuality, marital or work status, or whether you rent or own your own home.

The council welcomes all enquiries about fostering. Portsmouth City Council’s foster carers come from all walks of life and they all share the same commitment and motivation to make a positive difference to a child or young person’s life.

This could be a short or long term placement for a child or sibling group until they’re ready to live independently or be reunited with family, support for children seeking safety or asylum or children with a disability, supported lodgings to develop their independent living skills, a parent and baby placement, or respite care.

Foster carers receive excellent, local training and 24/7 support, including through our pioneering Mockingbird Programme support network and mentoring scheme, and competitive fees and allowances.

Drop by to learn more about the positive impact you can make to the lives of Portsmouth’s children and young people.
