Looking to transfer fostering agency? Find out more about how much foster parents get paid, including both weekly and yearly fostering allowance.
Here at Capstone, we invest in you - our continuous support and highly competitive rate of pay makes our foster parents some of the best equipped in the UK. That’s why, as a Capstone foster carer, your development and well-being is at the heart of all that we do, which is reflected in our competitive weekly fostering allowance. Our rates allow you the freedom to focus wholeheartedly on being a foster parent, and change the lives of those young people in your care.
Our fostering rates are much higher than the national minimum foster parent weekly allowance of £132 - £231 per week. That’s why, by fostering with us rather than your local authority or another independent fostering agency, you’re likely to experience a more competitive rate of pay.
Making the move over to Capstone from your current agency or local authority will provide you with not only more financial security due to an increased fostering allowance, but you’ll also experience a higher level of support and training – due to extra resources.
