Meet Our Foster Carers
Thinking about becoming a foster carer? Listen to some of our foster carers talk about their own fostering journeys.
Why not hear from the people who know it best – our incredible foster carers.
If you’re wondering what fostering is really like, our short video stories are a great place to begin.
In these honest and heartfelt clips, our carers share their own journeys, what inspired them to foster, how they got started and why they chose to be part of our not-for-profit agency, Fostering North East.
They talk openly about the challenges they’ve faced, the support they’ve had from us and the life-changing joy fostering has brought into their lives.

“It’s little touches that make you know you’re part of a family and not just part of a large organisation, and I would say to anyone, you’re with the best from my heart, and that’s sincere!”

Meet Darren
“Do it, just do it, if you’re thinking about fostering just do it, honestly!”

Meet Amanda & Ian
“And we just like their values and ethos of what was a small, smaller agency. And we’ve stayed with Fostering North East for 24-25 years.”
