Happy foster carers makes for happy children
“I don’t call my foster carers carers, I call them my parents, because that’s what they became. even though I’m now in my twenties, I still go back to them every Sunday for my roast dinner. ”
Carl C
“I have never been pushed so hard to achieve things. At first I really didn’t like it, then I started to realise this was exactly what I needed, people kept asking me what my SPARK was, and honestly, without my foster parents, and D, their social worker, I probably wouldn’t have found it”

Well we put carers and children at the heart of everything.
We always choose the right thing to do, even if that is sometimes the difficult thing.
Every agencies pays it’s carers differently, so make sure to ask.
GLF carers are some of the best paid in London, our rates are:
£425 for a child aged 0-10
£450 for a child aged 11=
£550-£1600 for an enhanced placement, depending on complexity
The above are per week, per child, and unlike other IFAs, you don’t have any money deducted for sibling groups. So if you care for an 11 year old, and their 14 year old brother, you’ll receive £900 a week.
We’ll we’re family run, so we decide where to put the money. We think as carers do the real hard work, they should get paid fairly.
We don’t scrimp in other areas, so you’ll still expect amazing support, it’s just we don’t waste money in other areas. If it doesn’t add value to you and the children you care for, we don’t spend money on it!
