Fostering is a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of young people who have faced difficult circumstances. At Three Circles Fostering, based in the North West and Yorkshire, we are dedicated to providing outstanding care, as recognised by Ofsted. Here’s why fostering a child or young person can be a fulfilling and impactful decision for you and the children who need your support.
Why Foster a Child or Young Person?
Young people come into foster care for various reasons, from different backgrounds, faiths, and with unique needs and experiences. Almost all have endured neglect, trauma, or abuse, making the security, warmth, and care our foster carers provide essential for their well-being.
Why Are Foster Carers Needed?
Foster carers are crucial in giving young people the opportunity to enjoy their childhood and the security to ‘be themselves’. Many children entering care have not experienced structured routines, balanced diets, proper clothing, or adequate healthcare. Our foster carers offer reassurance, stability, and the nurturing environment these children need to thrive.
Why Consider Fostering?
People have unique reasons for becoming foster carers. Common motivations include wanting to make a positive difference in the world and providing support to vulnerable children. Fostering is a highly fulfilling experience, allowing you to watch the children grow and overcome obstacles, making any challenges faced worth it.
Why Foster Children Need You?
Children in foster care need support and guidance to create a safe future. Too many do not have the loving environment a family provides. With your help, they can access resources and stability to thrive. Watching them grow and succeed will be a rewarding experience, making every effort you put in worthwhile.
Support Young People in Achieving Success and Growth
If you are dedicated to helping children live better, more fulfilling lives, and are committed to seeing them through struggles, you would make an excellent foster carer. Your enthusiasm and passion for supporting children and helping them reach their potential are the most important qualities in this role.
You Want to Make a Difference
If you understand what it’s like to be in a vulnerable position, you can create a positive difference in the lives of foster children. By providing a stable and loving environment, you can help them build a brighter future.
You’ve Been There
Some of our foster carers have been raised in foster homes themselves and know how beneficial it is to have a supportive presence in times of distress. Their experiences can help foster children through traumas and build the courage to face the future.
You Have an Empty Nest
If you’ve already raised your children and they’ve left home, fostering could be a great option for you. With your parenting experience, you can provide young people with the guidance and stability they need to succeed.
You Want to Start a Family
For those who have always wanted children, fostering can be a fulfilling path. It offers the chance to provide a secure and loving home to those in need and experience the joys of family life.
Qualities Needed to Be a Great Foster Carer
Foster carers, regardless of age or relationship status, possess key characteristics such as commitment, honesty, willingness to learn, resilience, flexibility, consistency, dedication, and kindness.
