The National Union of Foster Carers supports foster carers from all walks of life.
We aim to provide unrivalled advice and legal support to both you and the adults within your household, should you need it.
“I am very impressed with the support recieved from NUPFC. They do what they say they will do which is so refreshing, if you need to talk they are there. I would seriously reccommend that every foster carer joins for peace of mind, everything may be OK now but it can change suddenly withthe fostering service who can ignore and isolate you. Thank you NUPFC.”
