Merton council seek foster carers living in the Merton and neighbouring London boroughs. Whatever your age, ethnicity, sexuality or personal circumstances, fostering could be for you. It doesn't matter if you are a home owner, tenant or on housing benefit, as long as you can demonstrate that you can provide stability and safety to a child, then we will consider your application.
