our Mission

“Facilitating life changing experiences for fostered children to enable brighter futures for the whole fostering family”
— ESFCA

East Sussex Foster Care Association is a local independent charity serving the needs of foster carers, their families and the children who are placed in their care by the local authority. 

our Goals

The goal of East Sussex Foster Care Association is to promote all or any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community. This is mainly (but not exclusively) within the County of East Sussex.

We are particularly focused on the advancement of education within the public on matters relating to substitute care. We also aim to help enable the education, training and support of foster families as well as relief for Looked After Children (LAC) and their families by providing facilities and services in the interest of social welfare. Ultimately, this is all done with a goal to improve the child’s quality of life whilst supporting the fostering family.

Since its induction in 1993, the ESFCA have worked hard to raise funds. This is all to show our vulnerable young people that through our offer of support, guidance and education we can help inspire them to succeed and empower them to build a brighter future for themselves.
