We believe every child is created in God’s image—deeply known, unconditionally loved, and full of potential. Each child’s story matters. We recognise the strength and resilience children and young people carry, especially those who have experienced care, loss or trauma.
As the UK’s only Christian charity focused on fostering and adoption, we are part of a wider community responding to God’s call to love, welcome and walk with children and families. Motivated by His heart for justice, family and hospitality, we come alongside families with practical support, faithful prayer and a commitment to walk the journey together. Our hope is to help nurture communities where families feel seen, valued and upheld—and where children and young people can begin to feel safe, grow in trust, and experience a deep sense of belonging.
We are committed to excellence and integrity in all we do—stewarding every opportunity, relationship and resource with care. Because when children are wrapped in stability, love and hope, their future begins to flourish—and they can grow into all God has created them to be.

FosteringFostering is powerful and transformational. It ensures that children in need of care and protection find it within a family setting. Children are placed in care for various reasons including neglect and abuse. Depending on their situation, they may need anything from short-term care (emergency, short break etc.) to long-term.
In the UK, foster placements account for almost three quarters of all children in care. Today there are over 100,000 children in foster care with 6,500 new foster carers urgently needed. |

Short break careSometimes it's local authority carers who need some short-term support to help them breathe. Sometimes it's our own carers who need someone to look after the children they are caring for so that they can recharge for a short period. We are so blessed by the amazing ministry of our short-break carers who wrap their arms around our children and families.

Parent and childThese placements allow a young parent take those essential first steps into parenthood in a safe, supportive environment along with their child. Our trained, experienced carers provide both parent and child with the support and encouragement they need as they walk towards independence.

AdoptionPermanence provides a child with the long-term security they need to flourish. For many years we have seen foster carers go on to adopt the children in their care, and now we are working as a fully-fledged adoption service in our own right.

Post-adoption supportWe journey with adopters for the long haul. We can offer a number of years of formal support, often in conjunction with a local authority, and a variety of interventions that will help you and your child build firm foundations for the future. We're always here and happy to help!
