Like the idea of fostering but not sure where to start?
Worried about what's really involved or whether you've got what it takes to welcome a vulnerable child into your home? What will the children be like? How much support will you get, and what will you be paid?
With so many different fostering agencies around - some profit-making and some non-profits like us - it's difficult to get straight answers to all the questions most people usually have when they start out.
Who is this event for?
If you're based in Kent, East or West Sussex, South London or Surrey, then read on to find out more.
This information evening gives you the chance to ask whatever you want - and hear it from people fostering right now.

- Meet our welcoming team and learn about the central role our carers play in the service, what it means to foster with a non-profit agency that puts the needs of children (and not profits) first and hear what our foster carers really think of Diagrama
