Find out more about fostering!

For the last 35 years, independent fostering organisations (like Diverse Care and Xcel 2000 - the two organisations working together to make the Hazel Project) have been looking after some of the most vulnerable children in the country on behalf of Local Authorities. The work is equal parts challenging and rewarding.  All of our children have experienced trauma that no child should. As a result, many of our children will be struggling at school and with their emotions and with their behaviour. Intellectually we can understand and explain their struggles - but the amazing bit of the work is that we manage to find truly astounding families who can live alongside these children and who contribute a great deal to their healing.
