Gateshead Council Fostering And Adoption

We are Gateshead Council's Fostering and Adoption team. Call us to find out how you can provide children with care & support in the security of your home. 0191 433 8333.

It doesn’t matter about your age, marital status, sexual orientation or ethnicity – anyone can foster or adopt.

We want you to join us as registered foster carers and adoptive parents and help us change the lives of children in Gateshead who need love, care and support.

Fostering and adoption isn’t always easy and can be very challenging but by making even the smallest difference to a child’s life, it can become one of the most rewarding things you can do.
