Foster with us!
The Children’s Family Trust (The CFT) are a charity with a difference. Supporting foster families across the East Midlands since 1945.
Thought about fostering but unsure where to start?
So what’s stopping you becoming a foster carer?
Small commitments have big impact
At The Children’s Family Trust, we know foster carers are looking for community, fun, flexible & engaging training schedules, excellent support and a full calendar of events tailored to their children’s needs.
And for those just starting out on their journey, a personalised approach with careful matching are the keys to a successful fostering career.
That’s why we pride ourselves on the presence we have in the communities we work in, events that engage children of every confidence level and low staff turnovers.
So from local administrators to our CEO, we know our carers and their children personally, celebrating every tiny milestone they meet, together.
Did you know you can transfer?
If you’re already an approved carer with another agency or local authority, you CAN transfer to us with your current foster child/children.
A shorter assessment process means you can hit the ground running with a charity that cares!
