Foster Care Fortnight: 13-26 May 2013
Put Alice in the frame for a new home!
There are 29 children like Alice in Bridgend who need a home, a hug every once in a while, someone to listen to them. Could you help change the life of a child or young person by fostering for your local authority?

About Bridgend Foster Care
Bridgend Foster Care is an experienced local authority fostering team, providing high quality placements for children and young people, whilst they are unable to live with their own families.
Make an enquiry today
We welcome any enquiries although we are particularly keen to hear from carers who are interested in providing:
|
Foster care for children aged 10+ |
|
Foster care for siblings |
|
Support care – planned overnight (maximum two overnight stays per week) for children within vulnerable families to prevent children coming into care |
Fostering is extremely rewarding and fulfilling but making the choice to become a foster carer is a major decision. Hopefully the related links on fostering will help you make your decision.
Meet and Greet Events
If you are interested in finding out more why don’t you come to one of our informal ‘meet and greet’ events. Taking place on a monthly basis these meetings are a great chance for you to obtain more information and chat to existing foster carers.

The date for the next meeting is:

Wednesday 22 May (Bryngarw) |

Tax information for foster carers
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has created an e-learning package specifically for foster carers. It has been tailored to meet the needs of this group and includes what they need to know and think about when they start fostering children, with regards to tax issues. It also covers foster carers’ relief and how to calculate it.
