St Bernard's Catholic Primary School, Bristol

Have you considered fostering?

Children in Bristol urgently need foster homes. By fostering with Bristol City Council, you help children say close to their friends and family. Every child deserves a safe and welcoming home to help them reach their potential.

There’s no typical foster family – just as there’s no typical child.

You don’t need to be married, own your own house, or have specific qualifications to be a foster carer. We welcome people of any ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age and religion.

In return for your time and care, you’ll receive:

1. A weekly allowance per child plus weekly payments
2. Dedicated support and regular contact with other foster carers
3. Free access to Bristol City Council gyms and other citywide discounts

"Fostering is the best thing we have ever done and brings us joy and fun every single day." BCC foster carer.
