Beams Foster Care began their journey in 2013 when two social care managers Beryl Sims and Karen Beales had a vision, this vision was to always deliver outstanding services and care to children and young people through dedication, commitment, and determination to enable them to have high aspirations for their future. This vision has come true and evident through our foster carers, staffing team, children & young people.
Beams Foster Care’s office is based in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk – we provide foster care for children from within Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire although this is not restricted. Our foster placements are spread across Norfolk and Suffolk – with a particular coverage around Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Lowestoft, Hopton & Oulton Broad areas, again this is not restricted.
Karen Beales – Director – now continues to take this vision forward and leads an inspiring team.
