Meet Other Foster Carers in Wales
One of the greatest benefits of becoming a foster carer with the largest Independent Fostering Agency (IFA) in the UK is the ability to establish a network of fellow FCA foster carers in your area. This means that you can keep in contact about local fostering events and activities. We also encourage all of our carers to stay in touch with one another in order to gain the support and company of those who are fostering nearby.
At FCA Cymru, it’s important to us to know that local children have care available in their area, and will not be taken too far away from their region – including into England – for fostering. In order to improve outcomes for these children, we need to ensure that their identity is respected and nurtured. This is why there is such a demand for foster carers in Wales, where children are in need of care that cannot be matched in England.
Benefits of Fostering in Wales
Lynn and Jake Lodge, a couple fostering in Prestatyn, explain the benefits of becoming a foster carer with FCA in Wales: "Working with Foster Care Associates (FCA) we have a network of professionals to support us around the clock. It is very much the Team Parenting™ approach to fostering which has helped keep us on track. Fostering with FCA Cymru, there is always someone available to offer valuable advice and the on-going training has been especially useful. This support is what helps you get through the tough times.”
