Fostering in Bury: Provide safe spaces for children in their local community

Foster carers in Bury provide vital support and care for young people and children throughout the Bury community. 

You can make a real difference in a child’s life, supporting vulnerable children by providing a safe and loving environment which allows them to build confidence and thrive.

By being a Bury foster carer, children can build and maintain stable relationships with friends and family they already have. Furthermore, a foster home provides children with a safe nurturing environment which provides safety and security which helps transform their future.

Bury Fostering Service provides a wide range of training and support for foster carers throughout the year to further their professional development. Also, all foster carers have access to a range of multi-agency support including Education, Health and Social Care CAMHS (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services). There are no age or relationship restrictions on who can foster - all that matters is that you can provide a safe and loving home for a child.

Both long-term and short-term options are available, as well other types of fostering including:

• Supported lodgings
• Family & Friends
• Respite Care
• Unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC)

Tony Decrop, assistant director (social care and safeguarding) at Bury Council, said: “Fostering provides a supportive and loving environment for a child to flourish and makes a very positive impact in their life. If you have the time, care, and dedication to foster with Bury then there’s never been a better time to do so. You can support children in Bury and allow them to stay close to where we all call home.”
