Why choose TACT?

Foster care forms the backbone of TACT’s services and identity. TACT started as a fostering agency in 1993 and, even as we have moved to offer so much more than ‘just’ fostering, it still remains at the heart of what we do. We are amongst the largest fostering charities in the UK.

Why is TACT different to other fostering and adoption agencies?

  • Because we are beyond profit – reinvesting any surplus into raising the quality of care for children and young people and making every pound work hard for those we help.
  • Because we provide an environment where children and young people can achieve their best – as members of caring and positive families and communities.
  • Because we place the child or young person’s needs at the forefront of our work – we provide a nationwide programme of participation and support to enable young people to build the confidence, skills and self-esteem to get involved with the charity and make the most of every opportunity.
  • Because we continually challenge what we do – we test and measure our already high standards and look for ways to improve. We are in the top quarter of organisations for quality of care.
  • Because we work in strong partnerships with families, carers, communities, organisations and local authorities to meet the needs of young people.
