Refer a friend

Refer a friend to foster for Blackpool Council and earn £1,600!

You know that friend who has a big heart, loves a busy home and is not afraid of a challenge? Well, we’d love to hear from them.

With your experience and knowledge of what it takes to be a foster carer, you’re in an ideal situation to spot people who have the qualities of what we’re looking for.

We value your help and support so you’ll receive £1,600 when you refer a friend!

Once your friend has completed the assessment process and has been approved by our fostering panel, you'll receive £800 as a big thank you from us. You will then receive a further £800 upon their first review.

Who are we looking for?

We’re keen to hear from foster carers from all walks of life who live in and around the Blackpool area. Single applicants are welcome, families with or without children, LGBTQ+ foster carers, applicants from the BAME community and those whose children have since left the family home.

With a competitive financial reward package and brilliant training, they’ll be thanking you for years to come. All they need is a spare bedroom.
