Liverpool fostering allowances

When you join our foster care agency in Liverpool, you’ll receive a generous financial package to cover the costs of fostering, including a professional fee for your hard work and dedication.

You’ll also receive additional perks to make your fostering journey an even more fulfilling experience. Some of our perks include up to two weeks of paid respite care and allowances to celebrate birthdays and religious festivals.

As an additional thank you for your hard work, you'll have access to exclusive discounts to cut the cost of everyday essentials, days out, holidays and more.

Personalised villages of support

At Orange Grove, we are dedicated to providing a fostering experience completely tailored to your needs. We recognise that every family is different, so our support is flexible and designed to suit your unique situation.

Some of our foster families appreciate hands-on guidance, with weekly check-ins and one-on-one mentoring, and others, particularly those with more experience, prefer a less structured approach. Many find that a combination of both suits them, and we’re here to offer the right support at every stage of your fostering journey.

From social workers and family support workers to access to therapists and education experts, we'll build a village of local support around your whole family. We also provide resources and host support groups for children who foster so everyone has a rewarding experience.

Training tailored to your needs

Our training programmes are diverse and adaptable. We offer specialised courses based on the specific needs of the child in your care and help you broaden your knowledge and skills.

No previous fostering experience is needed to get started—our training will provide you with everything you need to make a positive, meaningful impact in the lives of children and young people in Liverpool, Merseyside and beyond.
