Many children need fostering in Manchester and the North West. We have opportunities for foster parents who are new to fostering or have experience and want to transfer.
If you’re considering becoming a foster parent, choose a fostering agency with local teams who will be with you every step.

One of the most established fostering agencies in Manchester, we work with local authorities to place children and young people in homes where they can thrive.
As a foster carer with us, you’ll have unparalleled access to professional support and excellent free training in your local area. We want you to thrive too, being the best you can be in your role as foster carer.
On top of this, our Manchester foster carers have a large and active peer network that includes several local support groups.
My carers Tracey and Paul are newly approved foster carers with plenty of personal experience of raising their children into adulthood and their grandchildren. Tracey and Paul were excited, yet apprehensive, of starting their fostering journey, having been approached to support a complex young man as part of a shared care arrangement.
Tracey and Paul have received support from our social work team and the local authority and, with this support, they have thrived within their role as foster carers. They have shown empathy and understanding to this young person and with all working together to get the best outcomes he is thriving in his new placement.

National Fostering Group has local offices across Lancashire, Cumbria, Merseyside and Manchester.
