Beacon Fostering is an independent fostering agency proudly based in Liverpool, dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of children and young people.
With a strong community presence in the North West, Beacon is actively seeking compassionate and committed individuals to join their growing network of foster carers. Their mission is to address the urgent national shortage of foster carers and help create safe, nurturing environments where young people can thrive.
As part of their recruitment efforts, Beacon Fostering will be attending a Job Fair at Anfield Stadium on Friday, 2nd May, where members of their team will be available to speak with anyone interested in fostering. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about what fostering involves and how you could play a vital role in a child’s life.
Following this event, Beacon will also host a Coffee & Information Session on Friday, 9th May, from 1pm to 3pm at Café Nero, Liverpool ONE (L1 3DE). A friendly member of the Beacon recruitment team will be there to answer your questions, provide information about the fostering process, and offer a free drink and cake to attendees.
Beacon Fostering offers a generous weekly allowance of up to £750, depending on the child’s needs, along with comprehensive training, ongoing support, and access to therapeutic resources. Whether you’re just beginning to consider fostering or already have experience, Beacon provides a supportive, family-first environment where carers feel valued and empowered.
The need for foster carers in Liverpool is particularly pressing. Local data shows a 10.9% increase in the number of children and young people entering care between 2019 and 2023—significantly higher than the national rise of 7.2%. As of 31 March 2023, there were 1,477 children in care across Liverpool, up from 1,331 in 2019. These numbers reflect a growing demand for safe, stable homes in the region.
If you live in Liverpool or the surrounding areas, have a spare bedroom, and want to make a real difference, Beacon Fostering would love to hear from you. Visit their website to learn more.
