What Aberlour Fostering can offer you and your family

A caring, professional team

Our Supervising Social Worker and Family Worker bring decades of expertise combined with genuine warmth. From day one, you’ll know every face on the team and we’ll be on call 24/7 through the laughs and the challenges.

Competitive financial support

We recognise the incredible value you add to children’s lives. That’s why our payment rates are among the best in Scotland, so you can focus on giving children the secure, loving home they deserve.

With over 20 years of fostering under our belt, our workshops and one-to-one coaching adapt to your child’s unique needs and help you grow in confidence and skill.

Whole-family care

Our dedicated Family Worker supports not only your foster child but also your birth children, so everyone in your home can flourish together.

A truly inclusive, long-standing community

Carers who’ve transferred to us describe Aberlour Fostering as “personalised,” “family-like,” and “remarkably attentive.” Many of our original foster carers and staff are still here today—proof that once you join Aberlour, you stay part of the family.
