Beacon Fostering is a fostering agency based in Liverpool that aims to recruit more foster carers in the North West to improve the current shortage of foster carers across the country and to create brighter futures for many children and young people currently growing up in foster care.
On Tuesday 21st January, Beacon Fostering is holding a Coffee and Fostering Information Session at Café Nero, Liverpool One (L1 3DE) between 3:30pm-5pm. Within the session, they will provide free coffee/tea and cake, and staff will be on hand to ask any fostering-related questions you may have as well as provide all the information you may need to begin your fostering journey.
You can reserve your spot here.
Beacon Fostering offers carer payments of up to £750 a week, as well as providing foster carer training and therapeutic support. If you are based in Preston or surrounding areas, have a spare bedroom in your house, and are interested in fostering, you can visit their website to find out more.
The agency focuses locally in Liverpool and maintains a family ethos. The growth in the number of children supported by care was up 10.9%, for Liverpool compared to the 7.2% national figure. The total at 31 March 2023 was 1,477 children and young persons, up from 1,331 at 31 March 2019. This highlights the need locally in Liverpool and across Merseyside for foster carers.
Priankar Ghosh, Beacon’s Registered Manager has over 10 years of experience as a social worker said:
“Beacon Fostering is dedicated towards providing stable and consistent care to children and young people, to enable them to build nurturing and secure bond with their foster parents.
