As individuals and families are inspired to consider fostering, adoption or supported lodgings, we want to do all we can to support and resource you. The Home for Good Foundations course is for anyone who wants to further explore fostering, adoption or supported lodgings.

We believe Foundations will equip you to better understand the experiences of children within care, the care system as a whole and the Biblical underpinning of why we would want to step out to help those in need. This, as the title suggests, is about the motivation for those who might be wondering if stepping into fostering, adoption or supported lodgings might be for them. It is a first step; a toe being dipped or a platform to jump off. Wherever you are in your thinking, our hope is that through this course you will be informed, encouraged and challenged to stand for those in the care system who need our help.

The sessions will be interactive, with content delivered by a team of hosts who will also be able to help answers questions throughout. Delving deep into a variety of topics, each of the five sessions includes a combination of Bible study and reflection, practical information, real-life stories, and opportunities for discussions, questions and prayer.

We will look at the following:

Week 1: To understand different forms of care

Week 2: To explore themes of identity and family

Week 3: To explore the reality of trauma and loss

Week 4: The role that the whole church has in fostering and adoption

Week 5: To recognise the moves and transitions involved in caring for children.

We are currently offering Foundations free of charge to reach and inspire as many people as possible to make a difference in the lives of children and young people. You can help find a home for every child who needs one through this resource and other areas of our work by making a donation here.

Please join us in praying that the Foundations course will be a hugely beneficial resource, enabling and equipping people to consider what part they could play.
