Helping local children thrive through fostering 💜 Discover fostering with Foster Wales RCT, your local authority fostering team.

Supporting excellent foster care in our community. There are almost 700 children and young people across Rhondda Cynon Taf who are not able to live with their birth families and are in our care. We need local people to come forward and become foster carers to provide those children and young people with a safe and supportive home. Fostering is taking care of a child or young person in your home because they are unable to stay with their own family. You’ll be supported by our team at every stage so that you can confidently care for children and young people when they need it most. Fostering is challenging, exciting and rewarding. You’ll be making a huge difference to the lives of children and young people in Rhondda Cynon Taf. If you are interested in fostering then contact us today to have a friendly, no-obligation chat.

It's Children of Foster Carers Week! 💜

The children in fostering families are a huge part of making fostering work, and this week we're celebrating them.

When we asked Felix what it's like being a foster brother, he said:
"Well it's a bit of everything really, mostly good and funny, but it can also be sad because you have to say goodbye... and sometimes bad because they can be loud!! I really enjoy being a helper family."

We love how honest he is! 😊

Thank you to all the children and young people who open their hearts, share their families, and help foster children feel at home. You’re making a huge difference. 🥰

Wythnos Plant Gofalwyr Maeth ydyw 💜

Mae plant mewn teuluoedd maeth yn chwarae rhan enfawr yn llwyddiant maethu, ac yr wythnos hon rydyn ni’n eu dathlu nhw.

Pan ofynnon ni i Felix sut beth yw bod yn frawd maeth, dywedodd:

“Wel, mae’n dipyn o bopeth a dweud y gwir – yn bennaf yn dda ac yn ddoniol, ond gall fod yn drist hefyd oherwydd bod rhaid ffarwelio... ac weithiau gall fod yn anodd oherwydd eu bod nhw’n gallu bod yn swnllyd!! Dw i’n mwynhau bod yn rhan o deulu sy’n helpu.”

Rydyn ni wrth ein bodd pa mor onest ydy o! 😊

Diolch i’r holl blant a phobl ifanc sy’n agor eu calonnau, yn rhannu eu teuluoedd ac yn helpu plant maeth i deimlo’n gartrefol. Rydych chi’n gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr. 🥰

👉 As the saying goes raising children takes a village and we recognise that everyone in that village has a part to play in shaping our children’s future. Both children who are in care and those at risk of being in care need safe loving adults to play their part in supporting their childhood and influencing their future.

💜 Being a foster carer doesn’t always mean supporting a child on a full time or a long-term basis. Sometimes our children and families need a nurturing environment for short breaks, sleepovers and emergency situations.

🌟 We recognise that we have people in our communities who have the skills and attributes to change children’s lives but may not always be able to commit to a child full time. By improving our financial and support package in RCT for ‘Support Carers’ we hope to encourage more people across RCT to come forward with the experiences and skills our children and families may need.

🤩 Our support care provision allows people to foster on a flexible basis and gives families the opportunity to have additional help from another foster carer when they need it.

🤙 Send us a message or visit our website to arrange to have a chat to learn more about how you could help.

🌟 Mae nifer o bobl yn cyfrannu at fagwraeth plentyn, ac rydyn ni'n cydnabod bod gyda phob un ohonyn nhw ran i'w chwarae wrth lywio dyfodol ein plant. Mae angen oedolion diogel a chariadus ar blant sydd mewn gofal, a'r rheiny sy'n wynebu'r risg o fod mewn gofal, i chwarae eu rhan o ran cefnogi eu plentyndod a dylanwadu ar eu dyfodol.

💜 Dyw bod yn rhiant maeth ddim bob amser yn golygu cefnogi plentyn yn llawn amser neu'n hirdymor. Weithiau mae angen amgylchedd meithringar ar ein plant a'n teuluoedd ar gyfer seibiannau byr, arosiadau dros nos a sefyllfaoedd brys.

🥰 Rydyn ni'n cydnabod bod gyda ni bobl yn ein cymunedau sydd â'r sgiliau a'r rhinweddau i newid bywydau plant ond efallai na fyddan nhw bob amser yn gallu ymrwymo i blentyn yn llawn amser. Drwy wella ein pecyn cymorth ariannol ar gyfer 'Rhieni Maeth Cymorth' yn Rhondda Cynon Taf, rydyn ni'n gobeithio annog rhagor o bobl ledled Rhondda Cynon Taf i gynnig y profiadau a'r sgiliau y gallai fod eu hangen ar ein plant a'n teuluoedd.

💜 Mae ein gwasanaeth gofal cymorth yn golygu bod modd i bobl faethu ar sail hyblyg ac yn rhoi cyfle i deuluoedd gael cymorth ychwanegol gan riant maeth pan fydd ei angen arnyn nhw.

🤙 Anfonwch neges atom neu ewch i'n gwefan i drefnu sgwrs a dysgu mwy am sut y gallech chi helpu.
