Is there an age limit to be a Foster Carer?

No. We don’t have a maximum age limit because every person’s health circumstances are different. The life experience, wisdom and gentle care provided by someone who has had lots of birthdays can be just what some children need. Of course, we need to consider the needs of the child and the reality that looking after any child requires a certain amount of energy. The best thing to do is contact us so we can meet you, to ensure an informed decision can be made. We don’t want a child to miss out, just because someone thought they were too old to be a carer.
