Hello, i am tentatively considering becoming a foster carer, i wondered if there are any age limits ? any pension implications?

The income shouldn’t effect your pension but this is a huge undertaking.
Have you considered the independent visitor scheme?
The training is excellent, it would give you a greater understanding of fostering and the care system.
I did it for 6 years.
Here’s a link;
