Wholistic Fostering

Wholistic Fostering Independent fostering agency founded through lived experience, supporting African, Caribbean & mixed-heritage children and carers. Based in Birmingham.

Founded in 2015, our agency was created through lived experience. One founder is a care leaver and mixed-heritage adult; the other a supervising social worker and registered manager. We exist because too many African, Caribbean, and mixed-heritage children were growing up without carers who truly understood their culture, identity, and needs. Our work is rooted in community, culture, and care, across Birmingham and the West Midlands.

Not every act of care is big or obvious.
Sometimes it’s the small things —
a conversation, a moment of patience, a sense of safety.

For a child, those things can mean everything.
At Wholistic Fostering, we see the value in that kind of care every day.

And we’re here to support those who give it.

Sometimes, making a difference doesn’t start with having all the answers.

It starts with care.

With patience.
With the willingness to show up for a child who needs stability, understanding, and a safe place to call home.

At Wholistic Fostering, we’re looking for people who can provide that — especially for children of African & Caribbean heritage who need to feel seen and understood.

You won’t do this alone. We’ll support you every step of the way.

One of the biggest concerns people have about fostering is:

“What if I don’t know what to do?”

The truth is — you’re never expected to figure it out alone.

At Wholistic Fostering, we provide ongoing support, guidance, and training every step of the way.

You bring the care.
We bring the support.

Thinking about fostering is often where it begins.

A quiet thought.
A “maybe one day.”
A feeling that you could make a difference.

But then life gets busy…
Questions come up…
And it gets pushed to the side.

That’s completely normal.

If fostering has ever crossed your mind, you don’t need to have all the answers right now.

Just start with a conversation.

We’re here to listen, answer your questions, and support you — no pressure, no expectations.

💬 Send us a message or comment “INFO” and we’ll reach out.

Our agency was founded in 2015 through lived experience.

Mine — as a care leaver, mixed-heritage adult, and fostering panel member.
My wife’s — as an experienced supervising social worker and registered manager.

Together, we built Wholistic Fostering Agency because too many African, Caribbean, and mixed-heritage children were growing up without carers who truly understood their culture, identity, and needs.

Children shouldn’t have to leave who they are behind when they enter care.

This page is a fresh start for our social media — rooted in community, culture, and care, right here in Birmingham.

We’re glad you’re here.
