Foster with South Gloucestershire Council

Representation matters. 🌈

For LGBTQ+ young people in care, having a home where they feel seen, accepted and understood can be life-changing.

Research shows that foster carers play a vital role in providing acceptance, stability and sensitivity for LGBTQ+ young people navigating identity and stigma.

A diverse fostering community helps every child feel they belong.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating Fostering with Pride. 🌈

Fostering is for people from all walks of life – including LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. What matters isn’t who you are, but the love, stability and support you can offer a child.

There are thousands of children across the UK who need safe, nurturing homes and we need more people like you to step forward.

✨ Let’s challenge outdated perceptions of who can foster
✨ Let’s celebrate diverse families
✨ Let’s build a more inclusive future for children
