What We Do
Abacus Fostering recognise the importance of matching children with the right foster carer for their needs and take great care to select individuals with the skills to achieve and sustain a supportive and nurturing relationship. We aim to provide excellent quality foster placements to children and young people and continually strive to place vulnerable children and young people in nurturing home environments that will offer them a chance to participate in a positive family life. Abacus offers both Long and Short Term placement opportunities.
Becoming a Foster Parent
It takes a special kind of person to take on the responsibilities of fostering. If you’re patient, understanding and positive, you’re already well on your way to becoming a successful foster carer. Abacus Fostering will provide tailored, quality training to teach carers of any age (above 21), gender or cultural background. With positivity and determination, together we know we can succeed.
