Welcome to the Swindon Foster Carers Association (SFCA)
We’re so glad you’re here.
The Swindon Foster Carers Association (SFCA) is a warm, vibrant community created by
foster carers, for foster carers. Our mission is simple: to support, connect, and champion
every foster carer across Swindon.
Whether you’re brand new to fostering or have years of experience, you’re part of a
community that understands the challenges, celebrates the wins, and stands beside you.
Here, you’ll find support, friendship, information, and a place where your voice truly matters.
You’re not alone — you’re part of SFCA.
Support for Foster Carers
Fostering can be rewarding, challenging, emotional, and everything in between.
SFCA offers practical help, signposting, guidance, and a listening ear whenever you need it. We’re here to make your fostering journey smoother, safer, and more supported.
Social MeetUps
Connection matters. Our relaxed social meetups give carers the chance to chat, unwind,
share experiences, and build friendships with people who truly understand fostering life.
No pressure — just community, conversation, and a warm welcome.
Family Events
We host inclusive, family friendly events throughout the year so carers, children, and young people can come together, have fun, and feel part of something bigger.
From picnics to activity days, these events help build confidence, belonging, and joy.
Join us for our monthly community meet ups
Join us in person or online
We’d love to see you at our friendly monthly gatherings. A relaxed space to connect, chat, and feel supported.
Where: The Base, Lyndhurst Crescent, Swindon
When: Usually the third Tuesday of every month
Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
We offer tea, coffee, biscuits, and a warm welcome. It’s a chance to catch up with other carers, share experiences, and take a breather.
From time to time, we also invite guest speakers, run miniworkshops, or offer additional training sessions based on what carers tell us they’d find helpful.
Everyone is welcome — come as you are.
Upcoming Family Events
Our events bring carers, families, and young people together to connect, learn, and have fun. From monthly community meetups to family days, wellbeing sessions, and special workshops, there’s always something happening.
We design our events around what carers tell us they need — whether that’s support, training, or simply a chance to relax and enjoy time together. Check this page regularly for updates, new dates, and upcoming opportunities.
