Families for Children (FFC) is a registered (1093131) and approved voluntary adoption agency. We operate across Devon, Dorset and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The main focus of our work is to find parents for children needing new adoptive families. Adoption is a way of providing the security of a new family when it is not possible for a child to be brought up by his/her own parent(s). There are several thousand children in local authority care who are waiting for an adoptive family. Families for Children is committed to providing adoption support to children and families. This support is available when, and for as long as, it is needed. This work is the main focus of our fundraising activities. Families for Children is delighted to have the support of five well-known celebrities, Michael Caines MBE (Patron), Caroline Quentin (Patron), David Lawrence Jones (Vice Patron), Judi Spiers (Vice Patron) and Mark Tyler (Vice Patron) – with both Michael and Mark being adopted through Families for Children.
