Can I afford to foster with Fostering People?
Finance isn’t the reason people foster, our foster parents come to the role because they really want to make a difference to the lives of children. But we know how important money is to almost every aspect of our lives.
It's important to consider how fostering will affect your finances to understand if fostering can work for you. We also know that many people find it hard to ask questions about money, especially when it involves children.
We believe the more information you have to make an informed choice, the better so we've developed our finance calculator so you can see how much you're likely to receive depending on ages of children and if your considering fostering more than one child or siblings.
Our foster parents also don't pay any tax on their fostering income, so the amounts you see are tax free!
