Welcome to Amicus

Amicus Foster Care is an independent fostering agency supporting families to care for Children and Young People who are looked after by Local Authorities. The agency is small, friendly and responsive.

At Amicus we strive to do things differently.

For Foster Carers and Children and Young People this means personal and tailor made support from staff whom they know well. This could include therapy, therapeutic consultation, life story work and resource work. Amicus prides itself in providing opportunities for Looked after Children to reach their full potential and live fulfilling lives in their community.

Amicus Foster Care has Foster Carers across South West England. It supports carers in Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire.

The ethos of Amicus is to work collaboratively with Foster Carers, Children and Young People, placing Authorities, Social Workers and birth families to secure the best outcomes for Children and Young People.

Whether you are a Foster Carer or interested in Fostering and looking to join a supportive agency, a Local Authority looking to place a Child or Young Person, or a Young Person wanting to find out more about Amicus Foster Care please explore the rest of our web site.
