Financial support for Lewisham Council foster carers
It is really important that our foster carers are rewarded for what they do.
The amount we pay depends on the number of children looked after and how old they are, up to £650 per week, per child.
In addition to this, we also make payments including those to cover holidays and religious festivals.

Additional fostering expenses payments
We also pay expenses to cover mileage, clothing, equipment etc. This ensures that none of our carers are ever out of pocket.
