✨ What does this kind of support do for children?

When foster parents feel truly held, children feel it too.
Safety is contagious. Regulation is shared. Healing begins early.

At TRUE, we regularly see children who arrived scared, withdrawn or in survival mode… begin to:

🌱 Trust adults again
🌱 Sleep through the night for the first time in years
🌱 Feel safe enough to play, not just survive
🌱 Make friends, explore interests, and hope for their future

That’s what happens when foster parents aren’t firefighting alone — but are surrounded by constant therapeutic support.

Brave children. Supported parents. Life-changing outcomes.

This is what TRUE was built for.❤️

💛 What does it feel like to foster with TRUE?

At TRUE Fostering, foster parents often tell us the biggest difference isn’t just the training or the support —
it’s that they finally feel understood.

No judgement. No “figure it out on your own”. No box-ticking.
Just real, therapeutic care — wrapped around you as much as the child.

Here’s what our foster parents say that makes TRUE feel different:

✨ “I’m treated like a professional — and a human being.”
✨ “I never have to chase help — it’s just there before I even ask.”
✨ “They don’t just talk therapeutic… they live it.”
✨ “I’m not alone anymore.”

Fostering is one of the most powerful things a person can do — but you should never have to do it unsupported.

If you’re looking for a place where you’re seen, valued and genuinely backed every step of the way…
you may have just found it.

🌿 Real support. Real understanding. Real change.

It’s always inspiring to see the dedication and love our foster parents give every single day. Stories like this – eight years of commitment, growth and life-changing care – are exactly why True Fostering exists 💛

“We transferred because we weren’t being listened to.”

We hear this from foster parents far too often. They felt dismissed. Unsupported. Left to figure things out alone.

At TRUE, things are different.

We’re owned by the people who work here, not by investors. That means we’re focused on building real relationships, not profit margins.

👣 We support a sensible number of families.
🤝 We work hard to stay in touch.
💬 We answer the phone when you call.

If you’re thinking about transferring, you deserve to know there is a better way.

Let’s talk about what’s not working — and what could be.

Despite what other fostering ads may tell you...

You need more than a spare room and big heart.

They’re a great place to start, but they won’t be enough.

What you need is world-class support, a deep understanding of trauma, and a team that will work with you to develop solutions that work.

If we’re honest about what children in care need, we can do the work required to achieve the best possible outcomes for them.

We know the therapeutic approach works, because we’ve lived it.

Many of our team have lived experience of the care system, as well as extensive professional experience.

That makes a big difference.

We know how tough it can get at time (because we’ve been there), and we also know it works.

We take the volumes of complex theory around trauma and pass it all through a practical lens.
