Growing All Saints Church's support for fostering and adoption

All Saints Church is partnering with Parents and Children Together (PACT) to raise awareness over the next few weeks of the support that churches can offer to looked-after children through church encouragement and support for fostering and adoption. 

Rector Canon David Hodgson said: "All Saints Church is proud to be a partner parish of our leading regional fostering and adoption charity PACT, which has its roots in the Diocese of Oxford. Church communities can do so much both raising awareness of the crying need for, and also supporting and encouraging, foster carers and adoptive parents. I'd like to see us at All Saints Church playing a growing and active part in that important support."

Sunday 7th June will see the Parish Communion service focussed on fostering and adoption with a visit from a PACT  Adopter Champion, Carole Arnold.  Carole adopted through PACT and now mentors other parents going through the adoption process offering information and advice. Carole is a member of her own local church.

PACT is  one of five adoption agencies now working with Home for Good - a church -based charity whose vision is a home for every child who needs one.
