Being a local, independent foster agency in Kent, we get to know all our carers, and you will get to know us too! So, if you are looking for excellent support with a personal touch, we may be the agency for you.
The Homefinding & Fostering Agency was founded in 1996 by an experienced foster carer who fostered over 60 children and our agency is still run by the original team to this day.
We offer safe and nurturing placements to society’s most vulnerable children and young people. As other agencies become part of larger companies, we have become unique by retaining our integrity as an independent foster care agency specialising in fostering in kent & neighbouring counties.

We consistently aid in strengthening families so they can have an amazing fostering journey in which every child reaches their potential and foster carers can feel they made a significant positive change to a child’s life.
As an independent agency, you will come to know the staff that supports you, and we always answer with a friendly familiar voice whenever you phone during the day, or during our 24/7 out-of-hours service.
By knowing every single one of our carers well, we will be able to provide more creative and tailored support. No matter what you are facing, every one of us will be working hard to help you and the child or children placed in your care.
