The reality of the UK foster care system right now is stark.

Every single day, around 67,000 children across the UK live with foster families. They are safe, supported, and loved. But the system is under incredible strain. The number of fostering households has fallen to its lowest point in over a decade, leaving a massive gap.

Here are the facts

•  The Shortage: The Fostering Network estimates that the UK urgently needs 6,000 more foster families over the next 12 months alone to keep up with demand.

•  The Impact: Because of a lack of local homes, 45% of children in care are placed outside their local authority boundary, and 22% are moved more than 20 miles away from everything they know.
