There is a shortage of foster carers in Barnet, and the problem has been getting worse over the past few years.
As London’s fostering agency, GLF is committed to helping fill the shortfall of carers in the borough.
Our mission is to be able to offer the best possible home to every child that comes to care, but to do this we need more foster carers. Because if there aren’t enough foster carers available in Barnet then children will be moved from the area, away from their friends, family and community.
Barnet has a very diverse population, and this is mirrored in the children in care. That’s why carers are needed across all ethnicities.
We are currently recruiting carers in the following areas of Barnet, Burnt Oak, Cockfosters, Finchley, Arkley, East Barnet, Edgware, Finchley Central, Frien Barnet, High Barnet, Whetstone, Woodside Park,
