Compass Fostering to sponsor U14 NL Boys
Posted by on 10 August 2015
Compass Fostering have kindly agreed to sponsor our new U14 Boys National League team and their logo will soon be appearing on the team's brand new kit.
Compass Fostering is an independent fostering agency that operates across England and Wales. It works with local authorities to find safe, loving homes for children who, for a range of reasons, might be unable to live with their birth family for a period of time.
Whilst there is no doubt that fostering can be challenging at times, the organisation prides itself on the level of professional training and support it gives to carers. “Our carers are never made to feel that they have to cope with any difficulties alone,” said Bernie Gibson, Managing Director of Compass Fostering. “They have access to round-the-clock support and frequent visits from our team of a highly experienced social workers.”
Carers receive a generous allowance for every night that a child or young person lives in their home. “The allowance enables carers to fully meet the needs and expenses of the child or young person placed. Carers can receive from £20,000 to £40,000 per year depending on their individual needs and other circumstances,” says Bernie.
Compass Foster carers also benefit from:
- Access to practical and emergency support from local staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- Ongoing training and development, including the opportunity to access outstanding specialist training and gain professional expertise
- Being part of our friendly, local, supportive network which meets regularly to share information and learn from each other
- Membership of professional bodies which provide additional information, support and benefits
