I am so glad that we decided to foster. It has fulfilled every expectation that we had, and although there have been many challenges along the way, we have never really looked back. As the primary foster parent, fostering allows me to work with children in a way that no other job would allow, yet I am also still a professional in my own right.Who can work this way
By the Bridge is looking for foster families who have the emotional capacity to meet the demands of emotionally traumatised young people, who have energy, confidence and commitment, who take a professional approach to their work, have the courage to take responsibility and who provide inspiring role models for the children in their care.
We encourage families with diverse backgrounds and life experiences who share our vision and values of fostering.
We are:
- Ambitious for our foster children.
- Utterly committed to being professional in everything we do
- Determined to give back to troubled young people opportunities they may have missed
- Resilient, tenacious and respectful
