Fostering, a rewarding career ...

Fostering with Lighthouse

As a foster carer, you have the opportunity to make a real difference to the life of a child or young person. 

The true meaning of fostering is to provide vulnerable children and young people with the love, care and support they need to improve their outcomes and succeed. Our foster families provide our children and young people with an environment within which they can thrive and make a difference in their lives.

Lighthouse Approach

Lighthouse fostering is an independent organisation that was started by foster carers and care leavers. Lighthouse ethos has always been to offer theraputic based individualised person centred care for the children and our carers.

Reward Pathway

The reward pathway is an additional weekly payment made to foster carers whilst they have a child/parent and child in their care. This payment is in recognition of the different experience, knowledge, and skills they have, as well as length of service and being able to evidence how they work over and beyond the day to day fostering role to benefit the children and young people in their care.
