Fostering in the Wirral
Known informally by residents as “The Wirral”, the Wirral Peninsula is a northwest area with parts included in Merseyside, Cheshire and Flintshire.
Many major urban centres are based within its borders including Birkenhead, Wallasey and Hoylake, alongside numerous small towns and villages that families call home. However, not all children in the peninsula are fortunate enough to have a safe and nurturing place to live that lets them grow and flourish.
Here at Beacon Fostering, our attentive staff supply families fostering in the Wirral with everything they need to care for children and young people, from an assigned social worker and personalised training to a competitive rate of pay for the area.
