At Fostering North Yorkshire, we offer pre planned short break support for children and young people who have a range of additional needs. These take place in the homes of their short break foster carers and are the opportunity for children to access new, positive experiences and meet new people.
Short breaks fostering with Fostering North Yorkshire could offer you the chance to foster for regular weekends or overnight stays whilst fitting in with your own lifestyle or around your current job. You would experience the rewards of helping a child with a disability reach their full potential, whilst at the same time knowing that you have allowed their family to have a much needed rest.
To be a short break carer you need energy and enthusiasm – and a desire to make a difference to the life of a local child. Resilience, patience and possibly some experience of caring for children with additional needs, though training can be provided.
In return Fostering North Yorkshire offer ongoing support and training along with generous financial allowances.
