Welcome to Powys Fostering
Powys Fostering is a dynamic fostering service covering the whole of Powys, from one of two office bases, Newtown in the north and Brecon in the south.
The team works closely alongside our Foster Carers and other professionals to provide a range of support to local children and young people, listening to Carers and enabling them to participate in service development.
Whether you are thinking of fostering for the first time, returning after a break, or considering transferring from another service or agency, we would be delighted to hear from you.
