Fostering in Nottingham

It takes a community to raise a child and right now, our community is needed more than ever.

Across the East Midlands, local councils are urgently looking for foster carers to help keep children close to:
🏫 Their schools
👫 Their friends
🏡 Their communities

When you foster, you’re not doing it alone.

You become part of a wider community that includes:
🤝 Social workers
👨‍👩‍👧 Other foster carers
💬 Ongoing support and guidance

Together, we can make sure no child feels alone or far from home.

One community. One safe home. One life changed.

Could you be part of it?

Your local authority will support you every step of the way, contact Foster for East Midlands Councils, call 03033 132950 or visit https://fosterforeastmidlands.org.uk/

Celebrating partnership working across Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire, Derby City and Derbyshire as Foster for East Midlands Councils continues to support the recruitment of foster carers across the region. 💙

At a special family fun day, the four local authorities came together to make pledges of support for children, young people and foster families — highlighting a shared commitment to creating brighter futures and keeping children close to their communities.

'This is Fostering'

Foster Care Fortnight 2026 (11–24 May) is here—shining a light on the real impact foster carers make every day.

In your community, incredible individuals are opening their homes to provide safe, stable, and supportive environments for children and young people. But more foster carers are urgently needed to ensure every child can find the right home.

Could you make a difference?

Not every child grows up in a safe, stable home.

But fostering can change that.

Across the UK, thousands of children enter care every year, each with their own story, challenges, and hopes.

Foster carers provide more than a place to stay:
✨ Stability
✨ Support
✨ A chance to rebuild

You don’t have to change everything — just one child’s life.

Can you help make this change?
