Anchor Foster Care North of London

General information

Anchor is a not-for-profit independent fostering agency co-founded in 2002 by two qualified social workers who are still current serving directors. The founders had a passion to provide the right kind of support to foster carers and their families to enable them to provide a consistent level of care for children and young people who could not live with their birth parents.

We provide a well-established fostering service with a family feel offering strong support to our valued foster carers and the children/young people in our care.

We recruit foster carers who share our vision of a child/young people centred service whose main aims are to promote good outcomes for the children and young people in our care by working to provide a secure base that enables them to achieve and realise their potential.

We believe that a secure base is essential for the achievement of good outcomes for children and young people. This belief is the basis for our mission statement; providing safety, stability and hope which underpins our service delivery and practice. We work closely with our foster carers, our children and Local Authorities to achieve this.

Our head office is based in Kent with outlaying fostering operations in East Midlands, Bedfordshire, East Sussex and South London.
