Children in care need homes

Children in care need homes

Every day 50+ children are taken into care in the UK. They are removed from chaotic, traumatic, abusive, neglectful or desperate situations. Some need a home in an emergency. Some need a temporary home until they can return to their families. Some need a home to give their families a break. Some need a permanent home with a new family. The Church is uniquely placed to help to meet this need in terms of finding families to foster or adopt, and providing an excellent community of support to wrap around those in need. A new charity that was birthed last year, called Home for Good, aims to make adoption and fostering a significant part of the life and ministry of the Church in the UK. Working with Care for the Family and the Child Protection Advisory Service they are equipping and co-ordinating churches and individuals to provide homes for children in care in a welcoming church community.
