If you've got room in your heart and your home, and curious to learn more about becoming a Foster Carer, you’ve come to the right place.

Fostering is built from everyday life. Familiar routines, shared moments and a steady presence can help a child feel safe and settled. Things that feel ordinary to you can mean more than you know.

Could you help one of over 6,000 children and young people in Greater Manchester looking for a place to call home? From a few nights a week to a long-term home, if you’re over 21 you can make all the difference to a child’s life.

Start your fostering journey

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.

Three Greater Manchester foster families invited to Downing Street

Three Greater Manchester foster families were invited to Downing Street on 13 October 2026 in recognition of the difference they make to the lives of children and young people in care.

The event marked the launch of the Department for Education’s first nationally coordinated fostering recruitment campaign, which aims to encourage more people to consider whether fostering could fit their lives.
