Family Values
When Synergy Fostering started to look after children in year 2000, we had just one foster family to take care of. Even now many years and many children later, our ethos is that each family should feel like they are that one family. Each child we care for only experiences one Synergy foster family with their individual set of needs and issues to address. Our challenge is to make that one relationship an outstanding one for each and every child and young person.
While we know we do serious work, we do not take ourselves too seriously. We look for ways to have fun and enjoy the experience of looking after children in foster care and also in our foster carers’ birth families and our staff families as well. Afterall, family life is all the richer for sharing it together.

Our Story
Over more than 16 years we have developed our service to children in care. We have learned how to match children with Foster Families so that they can provide the best care for the children. We support you to develop your confidence and skills so that you can give young people the safe and stable environment that helps them. This graphic shows the results of a survey of 261 children in care about they want from foster families.
- Safety and Security 67%
- Support and Help 61%
- Foster Family’s Love 54%
Your Team of Supporters
Your biggest supporters are the three people who started this agency 22 years ago. Running a Fostering agency is pointless unless we help young people in our care find their way in life and we cannot achieve that without foster families, staff and the supporters of our organisation who also care about that.

“Using the skills I learned in the private sector to the benefit of young people in care makes it more important somehow. What we do matters and it will continue to be valuable to the young people for many years after they leave us.”
