"Fostering in Luton has been a rewarding experience!"
The community is small, and I've always had great support from fostering social workers and the team. We've built strong, open relationships, and I've always felt listened to. It's been fun, challenging, and at times, tough, but there's nothing more rewarding than watching these children grow up.
Debra, Foster Carer with Luton Council for over 20 years
"We're proud of Luton"
When we decided to foster, it was important for us to support our local authority. Luton is our hometown, and we're incredibly proud of where we're from. Giving back to the community that has shaped us feels like the right thing to do.

"It is so rewarding to see the children's happy faces"
I have been fostering with Luton for 11 years. It is so rewarding to see the children's happy faces. Luton Council look after you and care for you. I would recommend fostering with Luton Council.

"It's brilliant to see them grow"
When you foster, you get to see the process of a child coming to you, settling down, becoming part of your family and then eventually moving forward and then maybe going to university, getting a job, getting married and having their own children. To us, that's what it is all about, they get to live their own life, and it is brilliant to see.
Sylvia and Albert, fostering for Luton since 2020
"I've enjoyed my journey to Fostering"
Luton Borough Council have been supportive at every step. My assessing social worker has been incredibly helpful and thorough and I've found the training provided insightful and useful. I'm really looking forward to starting to foster and feel confident that will be supported at every step.
