Referral Fees

🌟 Help Us Find Foster Carers — and Get Rewarded Along the Way

There’s a national shortage of foster carers — and the children who need them can’t wait. Sparks Fostering is working to find safe, stable, and compassionate homes across England.

We can’t do this alone. That’s why we reward individuals and organisations who help us find suitable foster carers. You’ll be thanked at each stage your referral progresses — so your effort is recognised even if they don’t complete the whole process.


💷 New! Tiered Referral Rewards

If you refer someone to Sparks Fostering and they go on to foster, you can earn up to £1,000 in cash rewards, paid in stages:

MilestoneReward
✅ They attend an initial call£50
📚 They complete pre-approval training£150
📝 They’re approved by fostering panel£300
🏡 They begin fostering£500
TOTAL£1,000

You’ll be paid at each stage — so even if they don’t complete the whole process, you’ll still receive something for your part.


👥 Who Can Refer?

  • Individuals (e.g. carers, teachers, support workers, community members)

  • Organisations (e.g. mosques, schools, businesses, charities)

  • Existing Sparks Fostering carers


🤝 Community Partnerships

If you represent a community or organisation, we can tailor a shared rewards plan that fits you. For example:

  • £500 to your organisation

  • £500 to the carer themselves

  • Or other arrangements — just ask!

We’ll provide digital flyers, social media content, and even speaker sessions to help you spread the word.


💡 Want to Foster Yourself?

If you apply to become a foster carer and were not referred by someone else, we’ll offer a £1,000 welcome bonus, paid in stages as you progress through approval and start fostering.
