Our role is to help get vulnerable residents to medical appointments who would otherwise struggle with public transport. Our drivers collect clients take them to their appointments and return them safely home afterwards.
Adoption Focus is a registered voluntary adoption agency. We help people become adopters to children who need new families. This is often because of physical abuse and neglect. The children may have experienced domestic violence and witnessed drug use and alcohol abuse. To keep them safe, and to give them the opportunity of loving, secure and permanent family life, they need adopters who will give them back their childhood. To be able to do this, the adopters need professional support and preparation. Adoption Focus provides this. We have social workers based in offices in the Midlands, Oxfordshire and Staffordhsire. We place children from all over the UK. We need to fundraise to support our work with adopters and their children. We have social workers who will support adoptive parents in helping their children during the times when their difficult early life experiences catch up with them. We help the children to make sense of the reasons why they were adopted. Our work with adoptive families cannot be time-limited. Any money raised is used to support our adopters and their children.
