Liz & Neal

"We both feel that fostering a child with a disability was the right choice for us... These children have so much to give that can often be overlooked by many."

Ant & Jinny

"We've always thought about fostering, but we just thought that now it's the right time for it... Our house is perfectly suited to another child with special needs."

Taz & Tayyab

"We wanted to become foster carers to make a difference to another child with disabilities and with Credo Care, we are able to do just that."

David & Andrew

"We were asked to take on a child on with severe disabilities. He was placed in my arms, and from that moment we were hooked."

Kim & Clive

"We have so much more to give to other children so we thought, 'Why not carry on giving it?'"

Andy & Martin

"Our decision to foster was a big one as we're already a big family, but it was definitely worth it in the end."

About Credo Care

Credo Care was established in 2000 as the UK's first independent fostering agency specialising in the care of children with disabilities, complex medical needs and learning difficulties.

Our goals are to raise the standards of disability care for children, reduce the financial burden of long-term residential and hospice care on local authorities and to ensure that becoming a foster parent is a positive and rewarding experience for all of our carers.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
