About Us - Khalsa Fostering | Sikh Child Fostering UK

About Khalsa Fostering

At Khalsa Fostering we would like to provide all young people with the opportunities and possibilities they need to be happy, safe and healthy. In modern life, there are so many opportunities to excel in sports, dance, music, academics.

We believe that every individual should have the facilities to fulfill their dreams. We would like to ensure that children despite their background, colour, race have an equal opportunity to be what they choose to be in all areas of life. If a child is in care is passionate about a particular field or extra curricular activity then we want to support them and guide them through the process. Often there are cultural needs as well as emotional, psychological and religious ones that need to be nurtured.

What We Do?

Khalsa Fostering is a UK based community interest company that was established in 2020, as the growing number of children going into Foster care became prevelant.

Khalsa Fostering are also actively encouraging and motivating the Sikh community to care for Sikh children at this time. We believe the community can provide an unparalleled level of support, educational resources and 1-2-1 communication to seamlessly establish a bridge between a secure, safe home environment and traditional Sikh values in a modern world.”

Our Aim

Our Values
