Reading children need Reading foster carers

Welcome to our website! We’re glad you’re interested in finding out more about fostering in Reading. We are the only not-for-profit independent fostering agency (IFA) in Reading and we’re rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. We deliver fostering on behalf of Reading Borough Council.

We are proud to be partnering with 19 other local authorities as part of a new regional fostering recruitment hub – Local Authority Fostering South East.

We’re joining forces for the first time to recruit and support more amazing foster carers able to provide safe, loving and local homes for children across our region.

Our fostering team here at Brighter Futures for Children will continue to support you on your foster carer journey but now you will also benefit from a centralised regional platform for enquiries, with local authorities working together to ensure you get the very best training and support from the start of your fostering journey.

What’s more, when you join us you’ll now also be joining a wider network of more than 2,800 amazing fostering families across the South East, all working together to change the lives of children in our communities.
