Today marks the launch of our new fostering film The Difference is You! This launch is a celebration of the release of a series of short films developed to support the recruitment of new foster carers to Barnet.
Are you are considering fostering and want to find out more?
When you foster with Barnet, you’re not just giving—you’re gaining. From weekly payments to help with school supplies and activities, we ensure you’re financially equipped to provide the best care possible. Your kindness is valued, and your time is supported.
Fostering offers a unique opportunity to earn while doing something truly meaningful. Barnet provides a competitive allowance, paid training, and ongoing support—so you can focus on what matters most: giving a child a safe and loving home.
Barnet foster carer Pam shares what fostering means to her.
From the tough transitions to the first smiles—every moment of fostering matters. It’s not always easy, but the impact you make is truly life-changing.
🎥 Watch Pam's story and see how you could make a difference too.
☀️ Summer can be a tough time for children without a stable home. Fostering offers them safety, support—and a chance to enjoy the holidays like any other child.

☀️ Summer’s here—and while many children are making memories, some just need a safe place to be. Could you offer that?

👫 Foster Siblings, Keep Them Together
Many children in care are separated from their brothers and sisters. By fostering siblings, you help maintain their bond and provide much-needed stability.
If you have the space and time, you could make a real difference.
🧡 Thank You to Support Social Workers 🧡
This #FosterCareFortnight, we’re celebrating The Power of Relationships — and that includes the incredible support social workers who stand beside foster carers.

This world book day, start a new chapter and foster for Barnet ❤️👨👦👦.
We offer competitive fees and allowances along with great benefits and rewards, including training and development to help you be the best foster carer possible.
As a specialist foster carer for teenagers, you will provide stability, guidance and patience to help a young person navigate this crucial stage of life.
With the right support teenagers can thrive... The difference is You!
Becoming a specialist foster carer means opening your home to a child with more complex needs. It takes patience, understanding and resilience but the rewards are life changing! ❤️🏡
