    Set up in 1987 by a small but passionate group of foster parents, we became the UK's first independent foster care agency. That gives us the benefit of over 30 years' of fostering experience and we're still going strong!
  • The founder members recognised that looked after children - especially those who'd had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support. So right from the beginning they put the child at the centre of their thinking and surrounded them with an integrated range of support services. In fact, that's what ISP means: Integrated Service Programme. Over time, this circle of support has increased to include a whole range of professionals that children and foster parents can tap into, whenever they need to. This includes social workers, fostering advisors, teachers and therapists, who all work with our foster parents and the children they look after, helping them understand and manage even the most challenging situations. This is what's known as a 'therapeutic approach' to fostering and it's something that we pioneered., Polaris: Achieving Extraordinary Things Welcome to Polaris, one of the UK's largest children's service providers. With over 37 years of experience, we are passionate about improving the lives of children, young people, and their families. From fostering and adoption to residential care, education, and bespoke services, we offer a comprehensive range of support that transforms lives and strengthens communities. At Polaris, our mission is simple yet powerful: to enable every child and young person in our care to reach their full potential. As a team, we are driven by ambition-not just for the children and families we support, but also for our staff. We believe in the power of people working together to achieve extraordinary outcomes. A Legacy of Care and Innovation Our journey began in 1987 as a small fostering agency with a big dream: to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
