Foster for Greater Manchester
Foster for Greater Manchester is a collaborative partnership between all ten Greater Manchester local councils, working together to grow the number of foster carers who can provide safe and loving homes for children and young people.
Foster carers who foster with one of the ten local councils across Greater Manchester, support local children and young people, ensuring they stay close to where they’re from.
Fostering is a professional role with responsibilities. The payment and allowances paid by local councils across Greater Manchester reflect this. All ten Greater Manchester local councils provide support and training locally, so foster carers don’t have to travel far to access support.
Once you have explored fostering and have made the decision to progress further,
