Meet our incredible foster carers and hear first-hand from them on their experience and how they have changed children's lives.
This is a unique opportunity to connect, learn and discover a fostering option that suits you.
Our foster carers can access exceptional support and award winning training. Plus, we are offering a £2000 welcome bonus to people who start fostering with us in 2025. We have increased our professional fees in line with inflation too.
There has never been a better time to start fostering with Essex County Council. Join us for a cup of tea and a chat to find out more. This is a drop-in event, so please feel free to come by anytime between 10am and 4pm. We hope to see you there!
"We have been fostering for nearly 4 years now. We have fostered children ranging from a couple of days old to 17 year olds. I can honestly say, hand on heart that fostering is the best thing I have ever done & what started out as a job has very much become my vocation in life" - Neil and Susan
