Fostering in Stonehouse
We’ve been carefully matching children in care with incredible foster parents for over 25 years and are proud to be part of their journey.
Independent Stonehouse
Fostering Agency
Based in Stonehouse, we support foster parents and children living across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Wiltshire. Together with our foster families, we’re making an extraordinary difference to children in foster care.
Sadly, more children are living in care each year and we’re looking to find more kind-hearted and passionate individuals to join our team.
As a Fosterplus foster parent, you’ll benefit from an excellent training and support package, including monthly supervision with your dedicated social worker, educational support for children, regular support groups and a first-class training programme delivered by our in-house team of experts.
You’ll also have access to a 24/7 helpline with a qualified social worker – professional advice is always at your fingertips.
If you’re ready to take your first step into fostering, chat to our friendly advisers today.

Statement of Purpose
Other benefits of working with fosterplus
Proud of the outcomes we achieve
All our offices are rated by Ofsted as 'Outstanding' or 'Good', reflecting our passion in providing the best possible outcomes for children and families. We achieve successful, stable foster care placements through building strong relationships with our foster families; by understanding their strengths, vulnerabilities, family dynamics and training and support requirements, we’re able to carefully match their skillset with the needs of a child.
Successful outcomes always start with the quality of the matching – and we take extra care when placing a child with a family to ensure a positive and rewarding experience for all.
Irene's story
Irene and her family joined Fosterplus over 6 years ago and have been caring for a brother and sister on a long-term basis ever since.
While Irene admits that it hasn't always been easy, she says that fostering has brought her family so many happy memories and can't believe the positive influence it's had on her own daughter.
Who can foster?
The minimum requirements to apply to become a foster parent are:
- 21 years of age or older
- Have the legal right to work in the UK
- Have a spare bedroom
- Have a strong desire to nurture a child in care
If you meet these criteria and would like to learn more, then we’d love to speak to you. We’ll be there every step of the way!
Already fostering?
We try to make things as simple as possible to transfer to us if you’re looking to change from your current foster care agency or local authority.
The first things to do is to speak to our fostering advisers and we’ll arrange to visit you at home to have a chat about what’s involved.
