Nexus Fostering
” Nexus Fostering urgently needs residents in Corby to help local children by becoming foster carers. Help is crucial in addressing the national shortage of foster carers with hundreds of children and young people in desperate need of a foster family.
Children from 0-18 are looking for foster homes and would need an adult around to support them day to day. This includes sibling groups, teenagers, parent and child fostering and also caring for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. Nexus Fostering welcomes individuals of all ages, genders, religions, and ethnicities to apply. We value diversity and are looking for people who genuinely want to make a difference in a child’s life. Many children enter foster care through no fault of their own and need someone with patience, kindness, and dedication to help them experience the childhood they deserve.
At Nexus Fostering, we have a passionate and friendly team of professionals who support our foster carers and young people 24/7, 365 days a year.
Could you become a foster carer? Contact us for an informal chat to find out how you can make a difference in a child’s life. ”
