Becoming a foster carer is a life-changing decision so you probably have lots of questions. Can I be in a same-sex relationship? Can I foster if I rent my home? Can I work alongside fostering?

Foster carers Tim and Beverley had been married for 18 years before they thought about fostering. They moved into a home which had a spare room then it was all systems go! Tim says "We have had some fantastic experiences over the last few years, working with many amazing professionals and engaging with beneficial training in person and online. The support and encouragement we have received have been excellent from the moment we first enquired about fostering to the present day".
Our team consists of 15 staff in total. We are one of the biggest teams in Nexus Fostering and cover most of the West Midlands area! We aim to continue growing and developing as a well-established team and include more carers and children as we go. We believe in being close to our carers and supporting them and their children on their fostering journey.
