With over 25 years of making a difference to the lives of children and young people in care, we believe that everyone has a voice, and we’re committed to listening. Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK’s largest leading communities of children’s service providers.

We’ve come a long way since those early days and, over the years, FCA has built a strong reputation for excellence, and now offers a wide range of services to children and families. But our purpose remains the same; ‘to make a positive and lasting difference for children, families and communities, and it’s underpinned by a series of values designed to help us assist children and young people to reach their full potential.
