About Foster East

Essex County Council is proud to be part of Foster East, a partnership programme. Eleven councils in the East of England are working together, making sure foster carers, and looked after children can thrive.

There are more than 7000 children in care at any one time across the East of England.  We need your help give these children the chance to thrive in a safe and caring family home.

This begins with the application process. Foster East shares incredible support, to anyone considering fostering with their local council. A dedicated team are on hand to help you become a foster carer, and start caring with confidence.

Together we can make life better for children in care. By working together, we can keep children in their community, near friends and family. Plus, they can attend their usual school while they are being looked after.

Enquire today and help us change the lives of children in our care.
