Find out how we are finding homes for children in Central and East England
Sharon Partridge-Underwood share updates, encouragement and prayer points related to Home for Good’s work across the Central and East of England.
Sharon's reflection
What a wonderful few months it has been in the Central and East of England furthering the work of Home for Good. I have recently been reading
The Jewish Jesus book by David Hoffbrand and have loved to see how the old and new testaments connect with prophecy and the fulfilment of God’s love and His heart for His people. When we are able to connect on a deeper level with God’s masterplan, it can help bring a clearer perspective of how God would have us love and care for those around us.
Recent highlights
This term has seen conversations with Milton Keynes, Norfolk and West Midlands fostering and/or adoption teams to think about the development of Church Engagement in these areas, to increase Enquiries and also consider building a greater support resource for carers.
Ongoing partnerships
We continue to work in close partnership with PACT. We are currently planning a joint event for July where we will host an information event at one of our Home for Good Churches in Chalfont St Peter with Champion Steve and PACT attending.
Working with our volunteers
In March, the Central and East volunteers meet on Zoom for our termly call. This was a great time of meeting together and discussing what is happening in the regions through our volunteers.
Also, Volunteers Shona and Fran have recently helped on the Foundations Course and did a great job of journeying with those considering fostering, adoption and supported lodgings.
