Foster Carer Feedback
“What can I say. It’s like being part of another family. Fully supportive with any problems (even our own family ones). They hold competitions throughout the year with prizes for the children. They hold fun days out and activities for everyone, even involving our own children. From the support / training / support groups / 24/7 help, there is nothing that they will not do to make you feel safe and secure. Just an amazing team for an amazing agency.”
Dave & Mel, Wigan“I’ve been fostering for over 25 years and Next Stage have a great family feel. I’m able to get hold of people at any time of the day or night and nothing is too much trouble for them! Next Stage always go out of the way to help with anything that I or my foster children need”

Birth Family Feedback
Local Authorities
All of our children are making significant progress and are achieving positive outcomes in all areas of their lives.
Next Stage for Fostering was established to provide a high quality service to Local Authorities. The main aim of the agency is to provide children and young people with exceptionally well matched foster placements which will meet their individual needs.
Next Stage for Fostering forms part of the established Next Stage Group which was founded in 2001 and has an excellent track record in providing support and care to vulnerable people.
It’s our mission to help children and young people who can’t live with their birth families find a loving, supportive home. We want to see them grow into confident adults that will make a difference in their community.
We work with Placements North West to provide potential foster carers a diverse range of placement types, ensuring there’s something to meet every skill set.
The Benefits of Fostering
Fostering a child is an incredibly rewarding experience, giving you the opportunity to invest in the life of a child and see how your support can transform their lives.
