About Red Kite
What We Do
We help to place children who cannot live at home with safe and caring families.
We recruit family-focused foster carers and have a role in the assessment and placement processes involved in fostering. In addition, we offer training, support, respite days and more to help our carers. We use our knowledge and experience to encourage all of our foster carers to learn and grow in order to make the best possible difference to the children in their care.
