New Collaboration with Sunbeam Fostering
Posted 15 November 2024
In October 2024 Footprints Foster Care joined forces with Sunbeam Fostering Agency, with a view to continue to develop and grow our service across the communities we serve in Dorset and the surrounding areas. This new collaboration supports our vision to support Foster Carers and provide Foster Care placements in and around Bournemouth and the surrounding areas.
We are very proud of our service, rated Good by Ofsted in July 2024, we know the support provided to our Fostering Community is exceptional, and the outcomes for our children and young people is evident in the amazing care provided to them by our Foster Carers and staff team.
