It explains what Home-from-Home fostering involves, who it’s suited to, and the difference you could make by offering short breaks to children and young people. Home-from-Home fostering provides children with a safe, familiar place to stay for a weekend or a few days, while giving full-time foster carers time to rest and recharge. For many people, it’s a flexible way to foster alongside work, family life or other commitments.
