Here is our new fostering film “Childhood” which looks at some of the challenges children and young people face before they come into care. Every child deserves a childhood and to have the opportunity to fulfill their dreams. Our looked after children need someone who can provide for them and who will offer love, nurture, and stability. Could you do this? Enquire with us today to find out more.
We need more Foster Carers within the local area to help children remain living in Bury close by to their community, school, friends and family.
Fostering
We provide different types of fostering to meet the needs of individual children. This includes short- and long-term fostering, supported lodgings, and family and friend carers.
Guardianship
We also support applications for Special guardianship orders, whereby foster carers can take parental responsibility to a child until they are grown up.
Allowance
Although carers are not entitled to claim child benefits or tax credits, they will receive fostering allowances and fees to cover maintenance and special occasions.

Foster with Bury Council
Help us offer safe, secure and loving homes to children who are in foster care in your community. We offer an extensive training programme throughout the year to support our carers in their professional development. Being part of the Local Authority, our Fostering Carers have access to a range of multi-agency support including Education, Health, CAMHS (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services). We offer good financial remuneration including annual allowances of birthday, holiday and festival payments. Our aim is to place all looked after children in Bury with our Foster Carers to enable children to remain living within the community they are familiar with, close by to school, friends and family. We also welcome enquiries from existing approved Foster Carers who would like to consider transferring to Bury to care for local children and have access to regular placements.
