Simply Fostering is 'not for profit' therefore all proceeds will be reinvested to secure the ongoing success and growth of Simply Fostering as a significant recruitment resource of foster carers for the UK.
Membership - How it works
When an enquirer referred by Simply Fostering to a member Agency is approved as a foster carer by that Agency, that member will agree to pay Family Services a 'one off' fee of £450.
The fee will include a £50 'Welcome to Fostering' voucher to be sent to the enquirer when they confirm their approval.
Fostering enquiries received by Simply Fostering will be forwarded to each member who has subscribed in the area from which the enquiry came from, denoted by County boundaries.
Within London, each London Borough will be used to define the membership boundaries.
For example :
- If there are 3 subscribed members in Hampshire, an enquiry from that County will be forwarded to each member;
- If there are two subscribed members in Hillingdon, each member would receive the enquiry made within that Borough.
If area membership is undersubscribed, all enquiries will be forwarded to the subscribed members in that area.
If there are no members within an area, Simply Fostering will forward the enquiry to the nearest subscribed member and the relevant Local Authority.
Simply Fostering's target market
Through researching the market, Simply Fostering has identified a significant target group who are interested in fostering, however need to be encouraged due to issues such as:
- Being worried about providing their details to social services;
- Not feeling confident submitting their details directly to a fostering agency;
- Being advised to contact more than one fostering provider by Government and Fostering Network, which they find discouraging;
- Not having the confidence in their potential as foster carers.
In order to attract this target group in particular, Simply Fostering in partnership with one of the UK's most successful web design and marketing companies, has developed this web site and a long term marketing strategy which will be supported by local and national media advertising as part of the development of the organisation.
