Fostering

Bolton is part of a new partnership between all 10 local authorities in Greater Manchester. We are working together to recruit foster carers who can provide loving and safe homes to children in Bolton and Greater Manchester, increasing and enhancing placements for children and young people where you live.

For the first time, people like yourself who are considering fostering in our region will benefit from a united, single support hub, which is backed by the Department for Education.

You will continue to be supported by our experienced fostering team at Bolton throughout your application. Your enquiry will be received by workers from the Hub. They will work together with staff and foster carers from Bolton to guide you throughout your fostering journey.  

To find out more about fostering for Bolton and maybe start your very own fostering journey, head over to Foster for Greater Manchester or call 0300 303 0321.
