Committed to achieving positive change
1st Affinity Fostering Services was established as an independent agency in 2013. Our focus is on providing excellent outcomes for children and young people who have experienced numerous placement disruptions or have lived in a residential children’s home. We believe in the value of resilient and skilled foster carers, who are well supported and trained.
In February 2026, we became part of children’s charity Adoption Matters, securing a not for profit future for our agency in Wales.
We are committed to achieving positive change in the behaviour and life chances of looked after children, by offering:
- High quality and resilient foster placements matched to the profile and needs of the children. A Signs of Safety risk assessment is at the heart of our matching process building child or young persons strengths.
- Safe and nurturing foster homes often located away from risk factors that have contributed to the child or young person’s distress (e.g. sexually exploited children).
- Support and advocacy for the child or young person to ensure their voice is heard when decisions are being made that affect their lives.
- A clear focus on education and the development of personal skills which leads to meeting their long term goals and readiness for independence.
- Parent & Child placement services.
