Foster Wales Bridgend Maethu Cymru Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr Could you help us build secure, stable futures for local children? Foster homes are a place where young people can laugh, learn and be loved.

Weโ€™re Foster Wales Bridgend, part of the national network of all 22 Local Authority fostering services in Wales. Every child has their own unique needs, and every single foster family provides something different to meet those needs. We focus on the purpose, not profit of foster care and our Bridgend team is dedicated to helping every child in our local area who needs us. We work hard to find a match thatโ€™s perfect for them, keeping them in their own community, school and near family if possible. Weโ€™re always looking for unique and caring individuals from all sorts of backgrounds to join our close-knit community of foster carers. Right now, there are children in our community who simply need someone to listen to them. To be there for them. We encourage carers from all walks of life โ€“ no matter your age, sexuality or relationship status โ€“ to join our welcoming team. Itโ€™s your life experience and ability to care that we look for.

Mae cartrefi maeth yn rhywle lle gall pobl ifanc chwerthin, dysgu a chael eu caru. Mae gan bob plentyn ei anghenion unigryw ei hun, ac mae pob teulu maeth yn darparu rhywbeth gwahanol i ddiwalluโ€™r anghenion hynny. Rydyn niโ€™n canolbwyntio ar bwrpas gofal maeth, dim elw gofal maeth, ac mae ein tรฎm wedi ymrwymo i helpu pob plentyn yn ein hardal leol sydd ein hangen ni. Rydyn niโ€™n gweithioโ€™n galed i ddod o hyd i ofalwr maeth syโ€™n berffaith iddyn nhw, gan eu cadw yn eu cymuned, eu hysgol a ger eu teulu os oes modd. Rydyn ni wastad yn chwilio am unigolion unigryw a gofalgar o bob math o gefndiroedd i ymuno รขโ€™n cymuned glรฒs o ofalwyr maeth. Ar hyn o bryd mae yna blant yn ein cymuned sydd angen rhywun i wrando arnyn nhw. Rhywun i fod yno iddyn nhw. Rydyn niโ€™n annog gofalwyr o bob cefndir โ€“ beth bynnag yw eich oedran, eich rhywioldeb neu eich statws perthynas โ€“ i ymuno รขโ€™n tรฎm croesawgar. Eich profiad o fywyd aโ€™ch gallu i ofalu ywโ€™r hyn rydyn niโ€™n chwilio amdano.

๐Ÿ’œ Kinship Care Week 2026 | 5 โ€“ 11 October

Weโ€™re celebrating the incredible grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and family friends who provide children with safe, stable and loving homes.

Kinship carers play a vital role in helping children stay connected to their families, roots and communities.

To mark the occasion and recognise the invaluable contribution of kinship carers, we lit up the Civic building in purple.

To all our wonderful kinship carers โ€“ your love and strength matter.

Every day, you provide safety, stability and hope. Your small acts make a lasting difference.

Thank you for all that you do ๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ’œ Mythbusting Mondays

Can I foster if I have pets?
Yes! Many foster carers have pets, and we understand they're an important part of the family.

Pets can often provide comfort, companionship and routine for children. During the assessment process, we'll consider how your pets fit into your home environment, and how that would work with your fostering journey.

โ€œPets are brilliant ice breakers for children coming into a new foster home, especially for children who lack trust in adults. We have lots of happy memories of days out with the children we have fostered and our dogs.โ€ Ian, foster carer

๐Ÿพ We'd love to meet your four-legged family members (or any other pets you may have!). Get in touch to enquire!
