A Loving Foster Home Needed for Tony* – A Bright, Energetic 6-Year-Old

We are seeking compassionate and committed foster carers to open their hearts and home to Tony*, a vibrant and affectionate little boy living in the east of the country.

Tony is 6 years old and full of life! He’s a chatty, fun-loving child who thrives on connection and adventure. He adores the outdoors—especially forest walks where he can imagine spotting bears and foxes—and he delights in sensory and imaginative play. Mornings are filled with joy as he sings along to rap songs on the way to school, and he finds great comfort in cuddles and reassurance from those who care for him.

Tony is incredibly loyal and protective of those he loves. He’s looking for foster carers who can offer him the stability, patience, and nurturing environment he needs to feel truly safe and secure. With the right support, Tony will flourish and form strong, lasting bonds.

He has been diagnosed with a mild learning disability and sometimes finds it hard to express himself clearly, which can be frustrating for him. But once you get to know Tony, understanding him becomes second nature—and incredibly rewarding.

Tony benefits from high levels of support in school and, once settled, really enjoys being there. To support his journey, an enhanced fostering payment and a tailored therapeutic support package will be provided. This includes therapeutic parenting guidance, trauma-informed workshops, and other interventions designed to help Tony thrive in a loving home.

If you believe you can offer Tony the care, patience, and love he deserves, we would love to hear from you today.
