Foster with South Tyneside Council Working across South Tyneside to provide foster care for children and young people.

South Tyneside Council’s fostering service work across South Tyneside to provide foster care for children and young people who are unable to live with their birth family, providing them a stable, loving home. Our carers enjoy the benefits of a well-established and supportive foster care community. We support and empower our foster carers throughout their fostering career – through our financial package offering, ongoing training and support, plus access to expertise where required. There’s no such thing as a typical foster carer – they are as different as the children they care for. We want to help our foster carers be the best carers possible and to give South Tyneside's children the best start in life. We are always happy to talk and meet with people who have an interest in foster caring to help you decide if it is the right choice for you.

This week is Week, and we’ve been sending special thank you cards to all the children and young people who help make fostering possible.

They share their homes, offer friendship, help new children settle in and show them what it means to belong.

We want to say a big thank you for the special part you play in a child’s fostering journey every single day.

Today, alongside our Foster Carers, we held a charity coffee morning at the Town Hall. We all enjoyed a fantastic selection of homemade cakes, bakes and treats, along with a raffle, raising an amazing £215.15 for two great causes. The money raised will be shared between Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancer Connections.

A huge thank you to all our carers who attended, donated raffle prizes, and brought delicious treats to help make the event a success.
