Choosing to foster
We recognise it can be difficult to differentiate between fostering companies, as many make similar promises. For us, 'making a difference' is found in the details.
We are charity owned. We are a not-for-profit company. Our motivation is not to maximise profit for shareholders, instead, we reinvest profits into our services to ensure that our foster carers truly get the help and assistance they require.
Become a Foster Carer
We believe that fostering is both a vocation and a career and we strive to meet both of those needs and the values that underpin them. If you believe you can make a difference to the lives of vulnerable children, please take the first step and start the conversation with us today.

Experienced foster carers know that the level and quality of support is the key differentiator between fostering agencies, and vital to the success of placements. Fair Ways offer the high-quality support you need, when it really matters. We have proven time and time again that we deliver on our commitments to provide the highest levels of support and pay.

Fostering with Fair Ways
As a fostering agency, we have built an award-winning reputation for excellence in providing high-level services for children and young people in the south of England since 2002. We are proud representatives of our parent organisation, Fair Ways Foundation – a charity dedicated to improving the lives of society’s most vulnerable.
Fostering is not just a life-affirming experience, it is also an opportunity to receive outstanding training and a generous payment package to make sure your family is comfortable. Many of our foster carers relish the opportunity to work from home and watch their families grow whilst being supported as a professional, with a company that truly cares about you as a person.
Your Role
Every child is different, but they all need care, support and encouragement and most of all a home. Fair Ways foster carers are just as different, but all have consistently strong values that meet these needs.
Types of Fostering
We offer different types of fostering, from short term to long term placements, respite placements and specialist placements.
Support
Fostering sits at the heart of Fair Ways. It was our first service and over time we have built an extraordinary range of children's services around it. All that knowledge and support is available to Fair Ways foster carers.
Pay
We treat our foster carers as professionals and therefore pay our carers an allowance for their skills, commitment and care. Fair Ways ensures the highest levels of allowances are paid and reviews these payments regularly.
Employment
Fair Ways offers every carer the opportunity to work in our other services on a temporary basis. This ensures carers maintain a continued income whilst having an opportunity to increase professional skills and further career development.
Resources
There are a few documents we have to make available for you to view which we would recommend reading. These are documents like our most recent Ofsted Report and our Statement of Purpose.
