Fostering Hampshire Children are excited to announce that we are now members of New Family Social.
New Family Social is a UK charity dedicated to supporting LGBTQ+ foster carers and adopters.
All our LGBTQ+ community, wherever they are on their fostering journeys, can now contact New Family Social for advice and support. We are pleased to offer GOLD membership to those in assessment as well as our approved foster carers.
With a calendar of virtual events, regional in-person meet-ups and a secure forum, New Family Social is both a well-established peer support network and a credible voice for LGBTQ+ adopters and foster carers.
New Family Social also provides training, advice and support to social workers and other fostering professionals to help recruit, support and retain LGBTQ+ foster carers.
LGBTQ+ is no barrier to fostering. Fostering Hampshire Children are proud to have a large number of LGBTQ+ foster carers in Hampshire. With a growing number of fostering communities, we want to offer our carers even greater support. Membership with New Family Social offers both our prospective and approved foster carers additional peer-to-peer support, access to online events, and the opportunity to attend a whole host of regional activities.
Fostering Hampshire Children need more foster carers from all walks of life to reflect the rich diversity of our Hampshire communities. Age, ethnicity, sexuality do not matter – if you are over 21 years of age and have a spare room, you can start transforming lives today.
