At Foster Cares Ltd, we understand that fostering is about much more than providing a roof over a child’s head. It’s about offering stability, love, and a safe environment where they can grow and thrive.
Fostering is about so much more than money, but we understand that financial pressures can sometimes add to the challenges of the role. That’s why we have increased our fostering allowances for 2025. We want to ensure that every one of our amazing foster carers has the support they need to focus on what really matters—changing lives for the better.

We are proud to announce that we’ve increased our fostering allowances for 2025. Weekly allowances now range from £460 to £685.63 per child, depending on their age and the type of fostering. This adjustment reflects our commitment to supporting the incredible work our foster carers do every single day.
In addition to these increased weekly allowances, our support package continues to include contributions for birthdays, festivals and holidays ensuring you can create memorable moments and provide a nurturing environment for the children in your care.
To find out more about our updated allowances and the support we provide, visit our fostering allowances page.
Fostering changes lives—not just for the children but for the carers, too. By increasing our allowances, we want to make fostering a practical and rewarding option for more people. It’s also our way of saying thank you to those who are already part of the Foster Cares Ltd family for their incredible commitment.
Whether you are an experienced foster carer or thinking about starting your journey, we are here to support you every step of the way.
