Unlike many other foster agencies in the Croydon area, we are a non-profit fostering agency and we don’t have commercial considerations distracting us. We’re a charitable organisation with the welfare of the children we support right at the heart of everything we do. Training, supporting and guiding our foster carers in Croydon is a priority because we know that foster carers who feel fully supported and have confidence in their own ability are the ones most likely able to provide a home where vulnerable children and young people can truly thrive.

We put people first
Unlike some foster agencies in Croydon, it’s never about profit for us. The welfare of our children and our carers comes first, with any surplus funds going straight back into funding the support you receive. Our foster carers are well rewarded but no-one is here to make a profit from foster care.
We’re the experts
Across Croydon, our role is to give round-the-clock support to our amazing foster carers. This includes 1-2-1 support, peer networking and support from other foster carers in our team in the. We offer ongoing specialist foster care training on specific issues that may arise while you are fostering a child.
We’re always there
Diagrama Foundation is a charitable organisation which covers the whole of Croydon, south London and across the south east of England. You’ll never struggle to get hold of us because we’re small enough for you and the children to matter to us. But we’re big enough to deliver the first-rate support you deserve.
Diagrama Fostering Croydon – at the heart of the community
Our summer picnics for fostered and adopted children has become a staple of the fostering and adoption calendar in Croydon and surrounding areas.
Twice a year children and their families are invited to enjoy a picnic in the sun in Purley. Past activities have included ‘pin the tail on the unicorn’, a soft play area for younger children, face painting, jewellery making and a bouncy castle for the bigger children. The picnic gives foster families from around Croydon a chance to connect and meet Diagrama staff and families who have adopted.
