Empowering Fostering Excellence

Our mission is to empower foster carers with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to provide exceptional care and achieve the best outcomes for children in their care.

We are dedicated to ensuring that every child has a safe, nurturing, and stable environment where they can thrive.

Maximising Potential in Care

Our purpose is to address the unique challenges faced by foster carers and to provide them with the essential resources and advocacy required to navigate fostering challenges effectively.

We’re working to enhance the quality of care provided to both fostered and birth children, support foster carers in their vital roles, and ultimately create a brighter future within the foster care system.

We believe, wholeheartedly, in the potential of every child, and the critical role foster carers play in unlocking that potential.

Led by Experience and Skills

From Foster Carer, to Social Worker, now an Advocate for Foster Carers

I’m Elrose, your dedicated foster care advocate.

My fostering journey began in April 2005, when I was first approved. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of fostering 34 children, gaining invaluable hands-on experience and insight along the way.

I value the successes of my foster children and continue to provide them with ongoing support wherever I can.

The highs and lows of fostering challenges have placed me in the ideal position to want to give back.
