Why Choose Us

Page updated on: 14/01/2025

We have signed up to the Foster Wales National Commitment. This is an agreed package of training, support and rewards to be enjoyed by every foster carer in Wales. So, like every other foster carer in Wales, you will benefit from:

  • Finance and allowances: You will receive generous financial allowances, which will be based on a number of factors like the type of fostering you undertake, how many children you foster, and how long you foster them for.
  • One team: We’ll work together with you, the children in your care and every professional around the child.
  • Learning and development: We provide all the tools and training to enable you to fully meet the needs of the children in your care.
  • Support: You have a team to support and encourage you, every step of the way.
  • Fostering community: We stay connected. You also gain memberships to The Fostering Network (TFN), New Family Social (NFS) and the Association for Fostering, Kinship and Adoption (AFKA) Cymru, paid for by us.
  • Shaping the future: The journey that got you to this point is important, but the most important step is the next one.

Other benefits we offer include:

  • Discounts with recognized partners, including Cadw
  • Blue Light Card
  • Free Swimming Pool Sessions at Actif Leisure Centres
