Empower Fostering - Join Our Community
Empower Fostering is a small, independent, family-run fostering agency based in Taunton, operating across the southwest region, from Bristol to Plymouth.
We are proud to have been rated 'Good' in our last Ofsted inspection, with support for foster carers acknowledged. Our goal is to provide bespoke packages that enable children to be placed in high-quality, caring foster homes.
If you have space in your home and heart, and are passionate about making a difference in children’s lives, we encourage you to apply or contact our team for an informal chat.

We receive hundreds of referrals from areas including Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Torquay, Plymouth, and Cornwall. All are in need of loving and supportive homes for children and young people.
We welcome applications from people of all social, economic, cultural, and religious backgrounds to reflect the diversity of young people in care.
Could you be the foster carer we need in the Southwest?
Foster carers are vital, fully trained, and supported as childcare experts. They work closely with professionals to provide high standards of care and advocate for the children. If you can offer children a loving, caring, and stable environment where they can explore their interests and develop their potential, we want to hear from you.
Why foster with us?
As a family-run agency founded by foster carers, we understand the rewards and challenges of fostering. We offer comprehensive training, ongoing support, a dedicated buddy system, 24/7 on-call service, support groups, and events for foster children, birth children, and foster carers.
