Fostering in Wrexham
We currently need new foster carers in Wrexham to help change children’s lives.
You may have been considering fostering for a while, or you may be looking to transfer from your current agency or local authority. Maybe you are completely new to the idea of fostering. No matter where you are on your journey, we have all the information you need to start making a difference to young people’s lives.

How do I start fostering in Wrexham?
You don’t need any qualifications to start your journey, as full and ongoing training will be provided. However, some experience of caring for children is preferable. As we are a charity, we reinvest surplus income into providing more training for our fostering households.
To join our Fostering Wrexham team of foster carers, we would first need to check some initial qualifying criteria with you, which are:
- To be aged 21 years or over
- To have at least one spare bedroom in your home
- To be a full time resident of the UK
If you fulfil all three points above, we would like to talk to you more about fostering. You can complete the enquiry form on this page to get started.
Why foster in Wrexham with TACT?
TACT is the UK’s largest dedicated fostering charity. We have been providing nurturing and caring homes for vulnerable young people since 1993.
We work closely with Wrexham County Borough Council to help provide nurturing and caring foster homes. We are a charity, so we do not ‘profit’ from foster care. Instead, we reinvest surplus income into providing more support and training for our Fostering Aberdeen team.
This reinvestment of income has enabled us to develop some unique additional support services, over and above what a fostering organisation is required to provide. These services include a dedicated Education Service, Health Service – and an online foster carer portal. Our TACT Connect community ensures that when children leave our care, they have TACT’s support into adulthood and beyond.
This is why 98% of our carers would recommend us to others thinking of fostering.
“We chose to foster with TACT because we had heard through another foster carer how good the charity was. We were welcomed by TACT with open arms and we have a fantastic working relationship with them.”
