OUR STORY

Who We Are

The Black Foster Carers Alliance (BFCA) is a UK-wide organisation led by people with lived and professional experience of the care system.

We empower Black and Global Majority foster carers, children and communities through training, mentoring, digital innovation and systems change — placing culture and identity at the heart of everything we do.

From grassroots community work to national policy influence, BFCA is building a fostering sector that truly reflects the diversity of the children it serves.

OUR VISION

A fostering system where every child belongs and every carer is valued.

We believe in the power of community, the potential of technology and the importance of culture to transform lives — and futures.
