About Us

Changing the landscape of fostering

Welcome to Black Foster Carers Alliance, where our mission is deeply rooted in creating positive change within the fostering community. Founded by Rachel Cole, a dedicated professional with several years of fostering experience, we are driven by a commitment to empowering diversity, fostering equality, and amplifying every voice within the fostering sector.

Our Why?

Black children are disproportionately over-represented in the care system and face unique challenges that require intentional, tailored support. Black Foster Carers Alliance was created to address the shortage of Black and minority ethnic foster carers and to guide, support, and educate those navigating the fostering journey.

Our Vision

We envision a fostering community that truly reflects the diversity of the children it serves. Our goal is to ensure every child finds a safe, nurturing home that values their cultural identity, while driving lasting change in policies, practices, and the lived experiences of carers and children alike.

How we bring about change

Guided by our commitment to fostering equality, we provide comprehensive support, culturally sensitive training, and mentorship for Black and minority foster carers. Our advocacy promotes diversity within the fostering community, emphasizing the crucial match between carers and children. Through inclusivity, networking, and community building, we foster connections among carers. Collaborating with agencies, we offer guidance on recruitment strategies, anti-racist practices, and ongoing support. Our collective efforts aim to reshape fostering, celebrating diversity and empowering carers to provide nurturing homes. Join us in this transformative journey.

At Black Foster Carers Alliance, we believe in the transformative power of unity and collaboration. By amplifying diverse voices, fostering cultural competence, and working collectively towards positive change, we aim to reshape the landscape of fostering for the better. Join us in this journey of empowerment, inspiration, and celebration of diversity within the fostering community. Together, we can create a brighter future for every child in need of a loving and supportive home.
