Statement of Purpose
Other benefits of working with fosterplus
Proud of the outcomes we achieve
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.
