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. This helps minimise disruption to the child's life and allows them to remain at their school, continue their after-school and weekend activities and stay connected with close families and friends. Local councils always endeavour to keep siblings together where possible.
