Fostering in Waltham Forest

We’re part of the Local Community Fostering service – a network of six northeast London boroughs with an ambition to inspire more people from all walks of life, to become foster carers.

The Local Community Fostering service is dedicated to supporting you on your journey to becoming a local authority foster carer.

We want to hear from you whether you’re just considering fostering for the first time and want to find out a little more, or if you’re an experienced carer looking to transfer from an independent fostering agency. We are always looking for carers from a variety of background regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or marital or employment status.

Please visit Local Community Fostering and complete the short form, or call 020 8496 3437. A member of our friendly Local Fostering Community team will be in touch at a time convenient to you to have an initial chat about fostering with Waltham Forest.
