Transform young lives by fostering with Break.
A not-for-profit fostering agency dedicated to providing loving homes and enriching children’s lives across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire.
Quick links
When you join Break as a foster carer, you’ll not only be giving a child who is unable to stay with their own family, somewhere safe, stable and loving to live, you’ll be joining a charity that always puts you and your family first.
As a not-for-profit organisation, all our funding goes towards ensuring both you and your child the best possible care and opportunities for growth.
When you foster with us, we’ll give you:
- full ongoing therapeutic training
- a dedicated social worker
- monthly funding (fostering allowance in the region of £670 per week)
- all the help and support you need so you’re never alone on this incredible journey.
We know the decision to open your home and your heart to someone starts with a conversation. So whether you’ve fostered for years and are looking to transfer to us, or just curious about whether fostering could be for you, our team are always on hand to answer any questions.
Parent and child fostering
Open your home for a short time to a parent and child, empowering them to reach their full potential and provide a stable environment for their child to thrive.
Long-term fostering
In this rewarding role you will nurture and support children who are unable to live with their families.
Support foster care
Support foster carers play a key part in Break’s fostering family. You’ll be matched with a foster family and will provide short breaks for the child in their care.
Are you already fostering but looking to move?
Curious about how Break does fostering a little differently?
You have the right to transfer to another fostering agency for any reason, and it’s a straightforward process that we can help you through. You can also transfer with a child you're already caring for, and we’ll work with you to ensure their well-being comes first.
As a not-for-profit agency, we reinvest in you and the child in your care.
