New Life Fostering is a place where all children thrive and are safe from harm
History
New Life fostering was established in March 2012. We are an Independent Fostering Agency, with a head office in Birmingham, whose sole aim is to provide warm, safe, diverse and local homes for children and young people, working in close partnership with Local Authorities.
We remain a family run business and focus on a close working relationship with all our foster carers. As a growing agency, we strive to develop skilled foster families by equipping them with the knowledge and know how to become effective therapeutic parents for all our children and young people.
