Foster a Child with Wiltshire Council

Find out about fostering on 18th November in Devizes Market Place

Wiltshire Council is looking for couples, families and individuals who can make space in their home and heart to help a child through a difficult time.

You’ll need a good sense of humour, plenty of tolerance and understanding, bags of enthusiasm and want to make a positive difference to young people’s lives.

You must be at least 21 or over to foster, have a spare bedroom, and drive. There’s no upper age limit as long as you’re fit and healthy enough to care for our children.

Above all, foster carers are known for their love, warmth, generosity, patience and positivity.
