We’re dedicated to ensuring every child in Bridgend has a safe environment in which to thrive. We’re Foster Wales Bridgend, part of the national network of 22 Welsh Local Authority fostering services.

Fostering is a huge commitment, but it’s also an incredible experience.
So, how do you get started? We’ll tell you everything you need to know.
We offer unique and extensive training to help every foster carer be the best they can. In turn, this helps build more secure and brighter futures for every child in our care.
However you’ll need us throughout your journey, we’ll be here to help. We’re always just a phone call away.
We brought together a group of young people in care (11+ years old) to share their experience of being fostered. Connor Allen, the former Welsh Children’s Poet Laureate was also invited to help guide our young people in writing a poem about their experiences. There are many misconceptions about young people in care and the aim of the workshop was to allow their voices to be heard.
our team will be getting out in our communities and would love to talk to you about fostering with your local authority
We are looking to recruit carers who understand or who would be willing to undertake training to enable them to understand the full impact of trauma upon a child.
