As a Foster Carer, you will receive a weekly allowance for any child that is placed in your care. Children and parents with additional needs will attract a higher weekly allowance.
Additionally, you will be entitled to other supplementary allowances:
Birthday and Festivals Allowance:
These allowances are provided to the foster carer in order to purchase gifts for the child to celebrate their birthday and religious festivals.
Uniform Allowance:
The £100.00 one off annual payment is for children in secondary school and is designed to assist with the cost of branded school uniform.
Holiday Allowance:
The holiday allowances are provided to the carer, in order that the carer can provide an annual holiday for the child/ren.
Respite Allowance:
Nurture offers 21 days per annum.
