Many other agencies have now been taken over by large corporate organisations, whose main aim is to make money for shareholders or pension funds. We believe that this is not the way forward and care passionately about the welfare of the children that we look after.
Lighthouse Fostering is a small organisation that was started by foster carers and care leavers. We have an independent forum of foster carers, these people help to steer the direction Lighthouse Fostering takes and ensure that children and carers are at the heart of all that we do.Unlike some other large corporate fostering organisations who expect you to do all the travelling. we will ensure that all training is local to you.
Gravesend
Gravesend is located on the south bank of the river Thames. It has probably best known for being the site of the grave of the American Indian woman Pocohontas.
Dartford
Dartford lies within the area known as the London Basin and became a market town in medieval times. Dartford is perhaps most well-known for its crossing The Queen Elizabeth II toll bridge that opened in 1991.
