Fostering information events

Join us and learn all things fostering!

Our online and in-person information events are a great opportunity for individuals interested in fostering to ask questions and have a chat with our foster carers and social workers.

We’ll talk you through the fostering process, different types of fostering, the support available, fostering allowances and fees and much more.

If you have any questions about our events, please call us on 01234 718 718 or email fostering@bedford.gov.uk.
