Become a Home for Good Church
Home for Good believes that the Church has a vital role to play in finding great homes for children who need them. We believe that local churches are ideally placed to be great communities of welcome. We long to see more churches across the UK engaging more deeply with God’s call to care for children who cannot grow up with their birth families.
A Home for Good Church is a church that has made a commitment to journey more closely with us and to serve families who foster, adopt or offer supported lodgings. It’s a church that actively opts-in to partner with Home for Good as together, we find a home for every child who needs one.

As part of the journey process, a Home for Good Church will make a set of commitments. But this is a relationship – a two-way partnership. Home for Good will also make commitments to your church. So, for example:
Home for Good will:
- Offer input and encouragement for your church and its Champion – including a regional staff member to walk alongside you on the journey and help you develop your engagement.
- Provide specific ‘Home for Good Church Updates’ three or four times a year.
- Provide easy access to all of Home for Good’s resources for churches.
- Offer two free tickets to the Home for Good Summit (or equivalent event) each year.
A Home for Good Church will:
- Make a clear commitment to journey closely with Home for Good for at least three years.
- Identify and encourage a Home for Good Champion within the church.
- Use Home for Good resources and training to inform, inspire and equip its congregation.
- Pray regularly: for children and young people with lived experience of care; for those involved in fostering, adoption and supported lodgings; for the work of Home for Good.
- Donate regularly to Home for Good

This initiative is about partnership and relationship so, there’s more involved than completing an online form. The process of becoming a Home for Good Church begins with a face-to-face conversation and a chance for us to explore together what this journey might look like for you and your church.
If you’re keen to find out more – please register your interest by completing this form. We’ll then be in touch to arrange a meeting with you and with others from your church’s leadership team. [Please note – completing this form doesn’t commit you to anything at this stage.]
