Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me,....
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25 : 34 -40

Cornerstone is an Independent Fostering and Post Adoption Support Agency. Based in the North East of England, we specialise in offering ‘permanent‘ homes to children in the care of Local Authorities. We are the only Christian Fostering Agency in the UK. Spurred on by our faith, we are an agency that is committed to creating forever families for children, especially those that are hard to place. Cornerstone has facilitated the transition to adoption for around 80 per cent of the children it has placed, even though this cuts off the funding which it receives for the foster placement. There have been no adoption breakdowns during the 20-year history of the organisation. This is a testament to the passion, commitment and excellence our staff and carers have.

Cornerstone specialises in providing ‘Forever Families’ caring for a child or sibling group, beyond their time in care, ensuring that they are loved and valued as their own. 80% of the children placed by us have now been adopted by their foster carers. We support our families throughout the adoption process and beyond.
We also offer a variety of placement opportunities including Short-term, Long-term, Respite and Emergency Placements, Foster with a view to Adopt (Early Permanence), Unaccompanied Asylum Seeker Minors, Parent and Child placements and Shared Care. We currently have carers throughout the North East and have expanded into Cumbria, North and South Yorkshire, the Humber region and into the North West.
