Luton Council is excited to announce the launch of its new fostering campaign, Foster Your Way, aimed at addressing the urgent need for foster carers in the community.

The Foster Your Way campaign highlights the diverse paths available to becoming a foster carer, making it accessible for individuals and families from all walks of life. The campaign emphasises that there are many ways to make a significant impact on a child's life.

Key features of the campaign include promoting the flexible fostering options that are available. Whether it's offering short-term fostering, respite care, long-term fostering, or providing a safe home in an emergency situation; these are just some of the types of fostering we are looking for from our carers. This allows carers to choose the best fit for their lifestyle and commitments.

Cllr Umme Ali, portfolio holder for children’s social care at Luton Council, said: “We are dedicated to ensuring that every child in our community has a safe and nurturing environment to grow up in.

"The Foster Your Way campaign is about making fostering more accessible and flexible, and recognising the incredible difference that foster carers can make in the lives of children and young people, aligning with the Luton 2040 vision of becoming a child friendly town, where our children grow up happy, healthy and secure, with a voice that matters and the opportunities they need to thrive.

“We invite everyone in Luton to consider how they can contribute or if they know anyone that may be suitable, they can refer a friend and be rewarded with £250 for each successful application.”
