HELP a child in need by becoming a foster carer

Hertfordshire County Council has launched an urgent HELP campaign to find more foster carers.

There is now an urgent need for more foster carers in Hertfordshire to help children stay in their local area, continue their education, and maintain connections with family and friends.

The county council runs a non-profit fostering service dedicated to providing children with a loving and supportive home. In Hertfordshire, there are approximately 1,000 children in care and more than 400 households fostering with their local council.

But the number of foster carers is declining, both locally and nationally. The council urgently needs more people to become foster carers, to make a difference to the lives of local children.

Could you provide stability, care and a family home for a local child?

You’ll receive training and support and, as a foster carer, you’ll receive a weekly payment for your skills, plus a weekly allowance for each child you look after.
