Let's go on holiday

St Christopher’s foster carer Connie has shared with us her experience of taking six teenage boys abroad, including her severely autistic foster child. We are sure you will agree it is a heartwarming post with some great tips and tricks.

St Christopher's goes on tour

We would like to invite you to attend one our fostering events if you have questions about fostering or how you can become a foster carer.

So what is LGBT Fostering and Adoption Week?

It’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender fostering week. We hear you ask: “But I can’t foster because of my sexuality?” Well that’s not true. Anyone who has the ability to help a child or young person reach their potential can foster, regardless of their sexuality.

Moving a foster child onto adoption

Rebecca and her partner Martin started fostering eight years ago and joined St Christopher’s two years ago. Over that time they have looked after two girls and six boys. They currently have three siblings placed with them. They are experienced at helping foster children to move on to adoption.

Teaching my foster child to trust

St Christopher’s foster carer Rachel shares how she has built up trust with her foster children, in particular the oldest of the three siblings.
