core in Wimborne, Dorset

We are a small independent fostering agency offering a high quality, personalised service to local children. The agency is based in Bournemouth and covers Bournemouth and the surrounding areas of Poole, Dorset and some parts of Hampshire. Our philosophy is based on the principle that big is not always better. We believe by concentrating on one local area, we can develop an expert knowledge of the services in the community to ensure our children genuinely receive the best they deserve. It also means our foster carers are real people to us and not just names on paper. This helps us all work effectively together and makes certain everyone feels they belong. Footprints is privately owned and managed by Stephanie and Vanda, both qualified social workers, with over 45 years of experience in the social care industry between them. They are on hand to all our foster carers to offer expert guidance and advice. If you are looking to join a fostering agency where you will be personally known, valued and recognised as an important part of the team, please contact us by calling 01202 573408.
