About Us

Thanks to your participation in this event you will be raising money for Families for Children Adoption Agency. Families for Children (FFC) is a registered (1093131) and approved voluntary adoption agency and Charitable Trust. 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 four well-known celebrities, Michael Caines MBE (Patron), Caroline Quentin (Patron), Judi Spiers (Vice Patron) and Mark Tyler (Vice Patron)with both Michael and Mark being adopted through Families for Children. Caroline Quentin says 'when I was told about the charity and what they do, I think it touched a nerve with me because I've got two kids and they are so central to my life, when Ally (Colton, Fundraising & Publicity Co-ordinator) started talking about finding families for children who weren't central to someone's life it really hit home for me and I wanted to see if I could be of any assistance; for the people looking for children and those children who are coming into new families. If I could make that any easier or encourage people to do it, I felt that would be helpful and I have to say, having been involved for a couple of years now, it is probably the most enjoyable thing I ever do all year'.
