Did you know…

Hundreds of children and young people across the county are, for a variety of reasons, in need of your care and time – and you could be the one to help them.

Northamptonshire County Council supports people personally and financially who are able to offer support and care to local children and young people.  We provide amongst other things, an allowance to help care for the child, comprehensive training programmes, adult and children’s support groups and access to a wide range of resources.

We have got many children from 0 to 16 years who are waiting for you to get in touch to offer your support - there are many ways you can get involved to help these children and young people.

It takes all sorts…

Children and young people need a wide range of people with their own personalities and life experiences.  The most important thing is that you enjoy having children and young people in your life and that you are able to commit and see things through for the benefit of a child.

It would be impossible to list all the types of people who can offer care and support to these children and young people – you may be single or married, have children of your own or not, work full time or part time or don’t work... it really is that varied.
