Join the friendliest fostering agency in Staffordshire
With our main office in Staffordshire and additional training centres and support groups across the Midlands, we provide excellent local support to foster families across Cheshire, Shropshire, and the Midlands, including Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, and Birmingham.
We’re committed to giving children in care happy and nurturing childhoods with foster parents who love them like their own. We know it takes a village to raise a child, but you can count on us to build a community around you with robust foundations of support that will help you grow professionally and make a real difference.
As an Orange Grove foster parent, you’ll receive unwavering and always non-judgmental support from your local, dedicated team that includes your personal supervising social worker, a family support worker and a team manager. You’ll also have access to a network of educational experts, therapists, and other highly qualified fostering professionals who will support you on your journey.
Our first-class training on mandatory, advanced and specialist topics in fostering will prepare you and elevate your fostering career.
So, if you’re interested in becoming a foster parent, we’d love to hear from you. With you on board, we can help more children heal from their past experiences and look forward to a brighter future.

Building bonds that last – in Staffordshire and beyond
Relationships help build the foundations for growth, so we spend time nurturing them and encouraging connections throughout our fostering community.
With Orange Grove Staffordshire, you’ll never walk this journey alone. When you join our fostering agency, you’ll be ‘buddied up’ with one of our more experienced foster parents, who will help you settle into your new role.
You’ll also have ample opportunities to meet other foster parents through our training sessions, support groups, events, and more. This will enable you to create a close-knit circle of friends with first-hand experience who can share in the good times and help you through challenging times.
These relationships will become a fundamental part of your village of support, and you’ll also become part of their village. Together, we can help more children have happy childhoods and brighter futures.
So, whether you’re looking to take your first steps towards fostering or you’re an experienced foster parent in search of a more fulfilling experience, why not join our Staffordshire fostering family?

About us
The Orange Grove family began in 1996 by experienced fostering professionals who made it their mission to change as many lives of children and young people in care as possible. Through their experience, they understood the challenges faced by foster families and knew that the best way to support them was by nurturing the whole family and cultivating relationships.
Over 25 years later, we’ve become a leader in building communities of support around foster parents, their families and the children and young people they care for. Our communities include our network of fostering professionals with expertise in social work, healthcare, education, therapy and more, along with experienced foster parents who mentor those new to fostering.
Together, we can give children and young people in care hope for the future.
