Foster a Future
Foster carers do one of the most important jobs in Newcastle - they give children and young people a chance to have a great future. We value the work that they do and that's why we now pay our foster carers up to £400 per week per child in their care. We need more foster carers - so if you want to Foster a Future we want to hear from you.
