Why Foster in South Kent?

Ashford is one of Kent's fastest-growing towns, and with growth comes increasing demand for fostering services. Meanwhile, the rural and coastal communities of Folkestone, Hythe, and the Romney Marsh face unique challenges — fewer services, greater isolation, and fewer foster carers per child.

Foster carers in South Kent benefit from:

Who Can Foster?

A spare bedroom, over 18, and a willingness to learn. That's what it takes. No formal qualifications needed — full training, professional supervision, and 24/7 support provided from day one.
