Foster a future, change a life
There are nearly 1,600 looked after children in Liverpool. We're looking for foster carers from all walks of life to provide happy, secure homes for children of all ages.
Listen to Maria's inspiring story about the difference she has made to three siblings.
Maria's Story - Seeing the Difference
With Maria's love and support, three sisters have truly flourished at being able to be themselves.
"When you see the kids grow and flourish and do their own thing, you look back and you think they may not have got that far, if they'd been split up."
“When you see that difference you’ve made in that child, honestly it’s worth more than anything. Nothing can compare to that feeling”
Deb and Dot's Story - Fostering Firsts
Since welcoming three siblings just before Christmas, Debbie and Dot have been overwhelmed with equal joy and sadness at seeing the children experience things for the first time.
“When his said, I love you Nanny Deb and Nanny Dot, we knew we had gained their trust”
Stephen's Story - Believing in teenagers
As a sole male foster carer, Stephen is passionate about supporting teenagers at a crucial time in their lives.
"I try and be firm but fair. Have that banter with them and speak on their level as well as being their guardian and setting boundaries"
"As soon as they come in the front door we make them a part of our family. We give them a family life, love, encouragement and support to help them follow the right path" - Stephen.
