He was once in care himself and later served on fostering panels; she is a seasoned Supervising Social Worker.
After witnessing gaps in culturally attuned provision, particularly for children from African, Caribbean, and multiracial heritage, they launched Wholistic to meet these underserved needs in the West Midlands.
Over the past decade, their family-run agency has refined its approach, marrying professional insight with lived experience.
Based in Tipton, we’re a focused, independent agency regulated solely by Ofsted. As of the latest full inspection in January 2024, Wholistic Fostering was found to be operating effectively under Ofsted’s standards. We’re proud of our good standing and our commitment to continuous improvement, centred on each child, carer, and family we serve.
From the start, our goal has been ‘whole-person’ care—recognising each child's cultural background, identity, and holistic needs. We believe fostering succeeds when diversity is embraced, when carers are respected for their lived experience, and when every relationship is intentional and trusted.
If you're a prospective carer with African, Caribbean or multiracial heritage—or simply someone who shares our values and wants to make a real impact—Wholistic Fostering offers more than a role: a family, a purpose, and a place to belong.
