Faith In Families

Did you know that thirty gay couples have applied to adopt a child in Northern Ireland since a ban on same-sex couples adopting was overturned five years ago but only two have been successful? An interesting read.

The countdown is on! Not long folks!

This naughty elf was helping with some admin tasks earlier today! They were more of a hindrance than a help with the stapler though!

We can't wait to watch this on Christmas Day! Jayne Torvill is our fabulous Patron and has done so much to support our work and to promote adoption in general. It will be amazing to watch this interpretation of their incredible story. Will you be watching? https://www.nottinghampost.com/…/torvil l-dean-tv-drama-love…

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? Our naughty elves are dreaming of a (mince) pie Christmas! We found them lying around among some generously donated mince pies earlier today!

The elves have found their way to the photocopier! One naughty elf is making a few copies of this image, but can you guess where the other naughty elf is?

WOW - this elf has been so generous! Could you spare a few pennies (or pounds?) this Christmas season? As a charity, we rely on generous donations and if you would like to give us one, you can do so here: https://www.faithinfamilies.org/…/ways- to-su…/donate-online/ Thank you so much!

At the weekend they were found in the toys, but today the elves are hanging out with some of the books that have been donated! This is only a few of the lots of books you have generously donated to our Christmas Appeal. Thank you so much!

A HUGE thank you to Avant Homes for their incredible donation, of lots of things for our Christmas Appeal, plus a cheque for £1000! How incredibly generous. This amazing company are changing the lives of vulnerable children and we are so grateful!

Can you spot our naughty elves? They are spending some time with all of our lovely toys, donated for our Christmas Appeal. They seem to be getting buried under all the donations we have received! Thank you everyone!

Lots more trouble from these two mischievous elves today! They were helping decorate the office, and we found them stuck up this Christmas tree!

We are so thankful for all of our generous donors to our Christmas Appeal - a huge thank you particularly to Chloe Marsden and her family for bringing a car full of amazing donations! You are all amazing!

What are your thoughts on this?

"What's that Snowman? It's only 19 days until Christmas?" We can't wait until Christmas here at Faith in Families, and it's getting closer! Are you excited yet?

It's been our 70th birthday this year at Faith in Families and our elves were spotted hiding out in these 70 signs today! We've loved our birthday celebrations all year!

Lots of calls coming today so the elves volunteered to help on the phones. Maybe you'll speak to one of our elves if you call us on 0115 955 8811 today?

Thank you so much for all of the donations we have recieved today! Our office has been filled with gifts, ready to pack into the hampers for the families. The elves have been busy sorting out the toys, now time to start the food and chocolate!

It's the 3rd December and we are very busy in the office as the Christmas Appeal closes tomorrow! There is still time to bring in donations, the elves are pointing out what you can bring in to help vulnerable children across the East Midlands!

After a busy day sorting Christmas Appeal donations, the elves were allowed a short tea break before helping with more tasks! Look how pleased they look with the biscuits on offer in the office!

We have worked with faith in families and adopted two little ones... fantastic support and would highly recommend!
