local fostering community
There is a community of foster carers in your local area. They are never far away so you never have to feel alone. Like us, they are here to support you. We are one team, all working together to help build better futures for local children.
financial support
Foster Wales Swansea places the support we provide our foster carers as one of our main priorities. We provide support groups, coffee mornings, events, and activities for children.
learning and developement
Being a foster carer with us means that you will receive competitive fees and allowances which are higher than those set by Welsh Government. We also pay our foster carers a retainer payment should they have a period of time where no child is placed with them (not that this is very likely).
support
You’ll have access to all the tools and training you will need to ensure you can meet the needs of each child in your care.
