25 Years of Fostering!
We are excited to be celebrating 25 years of fostering, helping care for the UK’s next generation of young people.
Since 1999, we’ve provided loving homes to over 1,300 children, many of whom have stayed with our foster families through to adulthood. This shows the impact and lifelong bond that can be created within fostering families.
Impressively, the average length of time a child remains with their FCC foster carers is over three years (significantly higher than the national average), which gives children the stability, care and love they need. This is only possible because of the amazing team of staff and carers here at FCC who are dedicated to giving children and young people the platform to succeed.

Our Vision For The Future
“As we celebrate our rich history, we are mindful of the sad fact that there are more children than ever in the care system, all looking for loving homes. We believe that every child has the right to experience a loving home and we remain committed to making that a reality for as many children as we can.”
