LGBT+ Fostering & Adoption Week
Date published

Here at Nexus Fostering, we believe that people from all walks of life make fantastic foster parents and we welcome foster carers from the LGBTQI community. We believe that it’s your personal qualities and what you can offer that make you a great foster parent and not your gender or sexual orientation in supporting and developing a vulnerable child or young person.
Regardless of how you identify; male or female, straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, if you’re compassionate and can provide a stable environment for a child or young person, you really have got what we’re looking for.
Fostering with us is open to everyone and we provide a safe and welcoming community to our foster parents. As a fostering agency we actively promote inclusivity and diversity, your application will be treated in exactly the same way and you’ll have exactly the same access to our support, training and services. We are here to help you every step of the way and are proud to have a wonderfully diverse community of foster carers. If you can provide a loving and stable home, we’ll equip you with the training and support you need to really help make a difference. We’d love to hear from you. Enquire here
