Who We Are

Built on a belief that those who care for children deserve to be cared for too

Our Mission

To provide every foster carer in the UK with access to meaningful, professional emotional wellbeing support — reducing isolation, preventing burnout, and enabling carers to provide the highest quality care to vulnerable children.

Our Vision

A future where no foster carer feels alone. Where local authorities and IFAs regard carer wellbeing not as an afterthought, but as a cornerstone of their retention strategy — and where children thrive because their carers do too.

Our Values

  • — Compassion first — we treat every carer with warmth and dignity
  • — Evidence-led — grounded in trauma-informed and therapeutic practice
  • — Partnership — working alongside organisations, not instead of them
  • — Accessibility — removing barriers to support for every carer

Why Foster Haven

A strategic wellbeing investment with measurable outcomes

Foster Haven is not a helpline. It is a structured, proactive prescription service that embeds wellbeing support into your carers' everyday lives.

Improve Carer Retention

Supported carers stay. Reducing carer dropout saves your organisation the significant financial and operational cost of recruitment and approval.

Demonstrate Duty of Care

Evidence your commitment to carer wellbeing in Ofsted and regulatory inspections. Foster Haven provides a structured, documentable support offer.

Peer Community & Connection

Your carers gain access to a moderated peer community — reducing isolation and building resilience through shared experience.

On-Demand Support

Drop-in sessions, scheduled talks, and online resources mean carers can access support when they need it, not just during office hours.

Professional 1-to-1 Sessions

Carers can access discounted counselling, therapy, and coaching through our vetted professionals — at a fraction of the standard market rate.

Engagement Reporting

Organisation administrators receive regular engagement reports to understand how their carers are using the platform and the impact being made.
