Volunteer with Home for Good
Home for Good exists to find a home for every child who needs one. We believe the Church in the UK is brilliantly placed to help make this vision a reality, drawing more individuals to foster, adopt or offer supported lodgings, providing supportive communities for families and advocating on their behalf. We have a nationwide network of volunteers who are passionate about making this vision a reality.
What's a Champion?
A Champion is part of a nationwide network of people who are passionate about making this vision - finding a home for every child who needs one - a reality.
Champions focus their efforts in one or more of the following areas:
- Encouraging their church to consider the need nationally and in their local area, and to help their church community consider how they might respond to this need. With Home for Good, Champions will help their church to become an increasingly welcoming and supportive environment for care-experienced children and their families.
- Practically supporting Home for Good’s Engagement Team at local events, conferences, and festivals.
- Developing relationships with local stakeholders in the world of fostering, adoption and supported lodgings.
What's a Peer Support Volunteer?
Peer Support Volunteers focus their efforts in one or more of the following areas:
- Enquiry Peer Support Volunteers offer one-on-one peer support, listening to and sharing their own experiences with people who enquire with Home for Good as they explore fostering, adoption or supported lodgings.
- Peer Support Group Volunteers facilitate a Home for Good Peer Support Group for parents, carers and/or hosts.
Peer Support Volunteers may also have the opportunity to practically support Home for Good by sharing their experiences at our information sessions, Foundations courses and other events for people exploring fostering, adoption and supported lodgings.
They may occasionally work alongside their Regional or Nation Lead or Local Coordinator to explore the need and opportunities for peer support locally, and where appropriate, engage more people in their support group.
