Fosterplus offer generous payment uplifts, as well as pay increases for experienced foster parents. Many of our foster families also care for more than one child, so the average allowance we currently pay is £42,596 - which is also completely tax free.
How do the fostering payments work?
We know that money isn't the reason people choose to foster, however we pay a generous allowance to ensure that our foster parents can provide the very best care to children, while also being rewarded for all their hard work.
Our weekly fostering allowance is made up of two parts:
- Child's allowance - an allowance to cover the cost of caring for a child, such as food, clothing, toiletries, transport, outings, pocket money, and general day-to-day activities.
- Foster parent fee - designed to reward foster parents for the amazing work they do in supporting the children and young people in their care.
Great rewards and benefits for foster parents
All of our foster parents receive exclusive access to our rewards platform, which provides incredible discounts on hundreds of family experiences, holidays, shops, restaurants and more.
