Additional benefits for Blackpool Council foster carers
Did you know that as a foster carer with Blackpool Council, you’re eligible for additional perks and benefits?
Our foster families provide local children in need with the chance to thrive in a loving and stable family home environment.
That’s why alongside our generous financial support package, we want to help our fostering families save that little bit more.
To say thank you, we’ve teamed up with partner organisations to provide our foster families with exclusive discounts and fantastic savings.
As an approved foster carer, you are eligible for a Blackpool Council ID badge and a Blue Light Card.
These can support with getting discounts at local cafes and restaurants, discounted or complimentary access to leisure facilities, attractions and much more.
