A range of fostering services
in Durham and covering Newcastle, Gateshead, Darlington, and the Northeast

Fostering with us gives you the opportunity to make a huge difference to a child’s life. Many of the children we work with have had unhappy experiences. Many more have been let down time and time again by the care system that was built to support them.

With the help of Orchard Care Fostering, you can support and enable a young person with opportunities to thrive, develop and achieve. Our highly trained, experienced and caring team will in turn support you, with advice, practical help, expert knowledge, and open lines of communication. We will show you that we care about you and the challenges you face - so that, together, we can transform foster children's lives for the better. Our stability rate is 98% for young people, of which we are extremely proud.

At Orchard Care Fostering, emphasis is placed on the essentials of warmth, shelter, food, clothing, human contact, concern, and interest. We offer an expression of our humanity as a base line for how we believe care should be. Through time, our children can learn that there are certain things which are measures of healthy relationships and basic rights in life. Our mixture of compassion, care and dedication, is a key part of our approach.
