About Us

At National Fostering Group our story is one of passion, growth and commitment to making a difference. From the beginning, we’ve focused on providing the highest quality of foster care across the UK and today, we’re proud to be the largest independent fostering provider in the UK. Our journey has been driven by our vision to improve the lives of even more children, every single day.

Our Vision, Mission & Values

At National Fostering Group, we believe that a great workplace is built on shared purpose and a commitment to excellence. Our Mission, Vision, Promise and Values guide everything we do—from the way we work together to the impact we create for our children and young people. Learn more about them below.
Where It All Started

Our History

Our journey in fostering goes back over 20 years, where we started as a small network of local agencies with a shared vision. From the outset we’ve been committed to supporting both foster carers and children to create stable, nurturing homes where young people can flourish.

As the demand for foster care grew, so did we. Through strategic partnerships, merging with other leading fostering agencies and investing in the development of our services, we expanded across the UK. This growth wasn’t just about numbers—it was about ensuring that wherever there was a need, we could respond with expertise, compassion and the best possible support.

Take a look at our roadmap below to see our journey over the last 20 years.


Where We Are

Our growth has allowed us to become the largest independent fostering provider in the UK, but our focus very much remains on personal and local touch. By working with regional agencies and experienced fostering teams, we offer foster carers the best of both worlds: the support of a national network and the close-knit, community feel of a local service.
