Weekenders helps you fit fostering in your life - building a relationship with a child
As a Weekender Foster Carer, you'll welcome a child into your home for one weekend a month. It's a chance to offer them warmth, stability, and new experiences — whether it's a trip to the park, making cookies, or just having a movie night.
It's simple. It's manageable. And it changes lives.
We know that opening your home to a child, even just for a weekend, is a big step. That's why we're with you from the very first conversation, making sure you feel informed, supported, and confident.
All you need is one spare bedroom and the ability to commit to a long-term relationship - we'll take care of the rest.
“I was nervous at first, but Now Foster made sure I felt completely supported. My weekends with Liam are the best part of my month.”
You don't need to have raised children before to be an amazing Weekender. We'll train you, guide you, and support you every step of the way to make sure you feel prepared and confident.
Yes, of course! As long as you have a spare room, whether you rent or own your home doesn't matter.
Absolutely! Weekend fostering is designed to fit into your life, even with a busy work week.
