Breaks with families near you

evolve is building a small hub of families in each of Kent, Medway and South London to support the foster families around them.

They’ll get to know you and your children, so breaks can be planned ahead and your children stay with people they already know.

The support behind you

Your own social worker

Their caseload is kept small, so they know your name and answer your call.

Reflective practice every month

One to one, with clinical drop-ins from our therapeutic team.

A training plan made for you

It’s set out over twelve months and covers your personal development as well.

When you move to evolve

Allowance matched or beaten

Whatever you’re on now.

A welcome payment

£1,500 to £7,500, depending on your experience and the children with you.

The children in your care stay with you

Nothing about their home, school or routine changes because you change agency.

How moving works

  1. With a good time to call, below.
  2. From a Kent number, and no cold calls before or after.
  3. Your welcome payment and your allowance.
  4. If you decide to stay where you are, that’s a perfectly good outcome.
  5. It’s quicker because you don’t start from scratch.

Why carers move to evolve

“Their previous experience at a different service had brought them to the point of considering giving up fostering. They are grateful and happy they chose evolve.”
Independent Reviewing Officer, published by evolve, 2025

Will my agency find out?

No. We won’t contact them, and you don’t need to tell them anything, until you formally apply to transfer.

Find out what you’d get

Nobody loves a phone call, but this one’s fifteen minutes and it’s private.
