First for Fostering We are a small, community based, Independent Fostering Agency located in Darlington covering the Northeast and North Yorkshire.

Our primary aim is to assess, recruit and train foster carers who can provide stable, nurturing and therapeutic placements for local children. We recognise the skill, dedication and professionalism of our foster carers and as such we aim to provide excellent; one to one support, peer support, training opportunities, allowances and fees. We work in a therapeutic way, utilising models of therapeutic parenting and offering this as a grounding for our foster carers. The Secure Base Model underpins our assessment process and continued support for foster carers, children and young people. As an agency we are reflective, inclusive and aspirational for our foster carers and the children and young people they care for. We are passionate advocates for our foster carers, their families and our children and young people.

Stable, nurturing foster placements change lives.

Every child deserves a safe space where they can grow, heal, and thrive.

At First for Fostering, we believe in the power of consistent care to transform futuresโ€”one placement at a time. When children find a stable home, they gain trust, belonging, and the freedom to simply be themselves.

Could 'YOU' make a lasting impact.

'Our aim is for you to be the best that you can!'

Strengthening the foster care system starts with community.

When we come together to support foster families, we create a network of care that uplifts children and carers alike.

At First for Fostering, we believe local involvementโ€”from sharing resources to offering encouragementโ€”plays a vital role in building safe, nurturing homes. Your support helps us empower foster carers throughout their journey and ensures every child feels valued and secure.

Foster Care Awareness Week is more than a date on the calendarโ€”it's a moment to share stories, spread understanding, and celebrate the incredible journeys of foster families. At First for Fostering, we're highlighting real experiences from carers who've opened their homes and hearts, providing stability, love, and hope to children in need. Every foster story is unique, yet they all carry a common thread: the power of compassion to change lives.

Did you know? Over 7,000 more foster families are needed across the UK to care for children waiting for safe, nurturing homes. By fostering, you're not just providing shelterโ€”you're offering a future.

We invite you to learn more about the impact of fostering and how your support can make a difference. Visit your website to explore personal stories, essential facts, and resources that empower your fostering journey. Together, we can build stronger futures.
