Welcome to the

Black Foster Carers Alliance

Empowering diversity. Enriching lives. Strengthening care. We champion excellence, equity and cultural affirmation in UK fostering — ensuring children thrive and carers feel valued, supported and empowered.

Our Mission

Empowering Future social

We exist to transform how the care system safeguards and supports Black and Global Majority children, so every child grows up safe, valued and culturally affirmed. Through cultural intelligence, quality assurance and partnership, we work with foster carers, fostering services, commissioners and communities to deliver identity-affirming placements, strengthen safeguarding, and embed equity, accountability and excellence at every level of the system.
