Testimonials & stories!

Choosing the right foster agency can seem daunting: what makes a 'good' fostering agency, and why should you choose one agency in particular?

We think we're pretty great at what we do, but don't just take our word for it! Check out what our existing foster carers and children think about Unity Foster Care below!

Reviews from our foster carers...

We pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming agency with the child's welfare at the core of everything we do. Our foster parents highly recommend us as an exceptional agency - read some of their reviews here!

Foster carer, Leeds

When we were looking at IFAs, Unity really stood out.  We loved the whole set up, how Unity have an upper limit cap on foster carers so that the "family" feel isn't lost.  Everybody knows everybody else.  When you need to call the out of hours number for support, you generally speak to someone you know and have met.  There's a real openness and you really are "one of the team".  We have been VERY impressed at the training/support offered.  We're REALLY looking forward to a long partnership with Unity, if you're thinking about Fostering ... DO IT!  Having an initial home visit holds no obligations and the bubbly Sarah will give you an instant feel of what Unity is all about!

Unity seemed to be offering that high level of support for all concerned. I can state unreservedly that we have definitely made the correct choice for us so far.

Foster carer

I'm nearly into my second year of fostering with Unity. From the start to now, they have been absolutely fantastic. The support I have received (even through lockdown) has been amazing. They offer so much with training and support forums. I feel like I have had the best possible start to help me to provide a loving, caring and supported home for any young person who needs it.

We are on our 4th year Fostering with Unity and it's the best thing we have ever done. Unity is a great company to work for, the training is really good and the support from everyone is fantastic, our SSW is the best. If you are thinking of fosting then look no further then Unity.
