Information sessions
If you're curious about fostering and have questions, join us for an informal chat at one of our information sessions or around your community. You can meet a representative from our fostering service or a foster carer.
Check out the dates for our upcoming online information sessions and events where you can meet the team in person, ask questions, and learn more about becoming a foster carer.
We’re also excited to invite you to our Fostering Film Festival, featuring powerful short films—including The Run—that celebrate the journey and impact of fostering. These screenings are a great way to connect with the community and hear real stories of care and transformation.
You can book your spot online, or email us at fostering.marketing@surreycc.gov.uk.
