Home for Good and Safe Families will be merging to form one charity, retaining the two strong and respected brand identities.
The vision is to provide a more holistic solution to prevent children entering the care system through family support and then, if they do, ensuring there are enough safe and nurturing homes through fostering, adoption, and supported lodgings.
Home for Good and Safe Families both hold these statements as crucial for the long-term wellbeing of children, families, and the wider community, and we work at two different ends of the needs spectrum. Safe Families support isolated and overwhelmed families through local volunteers, to give them the best chance of not only staying together but thriving together with a stable home and reinforced support network. Home for Good ensure that when, sadly, children come into care, there is a home for every child who needs one.
The merger is not motivated by financial saving but by creating a stronger organisation that can go wider and deeper, with greater efficiencies and increased resilience.
Huge thank you to all those who partner with us as Safe Families and Home for Good. You are already changing lives as you make sure that no-one feels alone. We couldn’t have got this far without you, and we have such confidence in this next step because of you.
The organisation is committed to serving all children and families; so that they all have a stable and nurturing place to call home, an environment that feels safe, and people they can trust who will offer care and support.
If you would like to partner as they go forward with this exciting new vision,
