At Families for Children we believe that the best place for a child to grow is with their birth families. However where this is not possible we endeavour to find new adoptive families who can offer them a stable and loving home.

The Wolves Foundation began life as a community team for the Warrington Wolves RLFC prior to becoming a registered charity in August 2005.
The Foundation aims to harness the power of sport to create and inspire communities and has three key areas of work:
Health & Social Welfare: We look to enhance the quality of life by promoting healthy lifestyles to all ages, backgrounds and abilities within the community. We tackle key health issues for all, create wider activities for people with disabilities and hold inclusive activities for disadvantaged and harder to reach communities. Activities include: working with the homeless and young offenders by providing leadership courses in sports and dance. Running after school, holiday and curriculum time activities.
Young People: We inspire our community by providing our young people with pathways to participate in positive activity. We work with partners to provide diversionary activities, create sporting and physical activities and engage with young people to strengthen their communities. Activities include: leadership courses, holiday activities, work experience opportunities.
Education: We look to create an environment to support learning and to contribute to the improvement of attainment, confidence and employability. We host Sports Leadership Programmes, volunteering opportunities, work placements and are home to a modern and welcoming learning environment. Activities include: opportunities to learn about the media industry, leadership courses and informative assemblies.
Each year the Foundation makes contact with over 20,000 people.

The Bumblebee Conservation Trust was established because of serious concerns about the ‘plight of the bumblebee’
In the last 80 years our bumblebee populations have crashed. Two species have become nationally extinct and several others have declined dramatically.
Bumblebees are familiar and much-loved insects that pollinate our crops and wildflowers, so people are rightly worried. We have a vision to create a world where bumblebees are thriving and valued. Our mission is to increase the number and distribution of bumblebees. A growing number of committed supporters are helping our team of staff make a big difference.

The idea behind Free Cakes for Kids is simple: we bake for families, who find it difficult to provide a birthday cake for their child. All cakes are baked 100% by volunteers, who operate locally and independently in their own private kitchens.
Founded in December 2008 by Henriette Lundgren in Oxford, Free Cakes for Kids has grown to nearly 60 groups and many more volunteers across the country. As a shared idea, it is open to anyone who cares for cake and their community.

Our vision is to keep families together and help them create a positive future.
We hope to achieve this by providing a safe community environment in which vulnerable and homeless families can settle for a temporary period of time. Our site contains 32 residential units where these families can be rehoused in order to get their lives back on track. They are offered support, training and skilled opportunities throughout their stay in order to create a sustainable living plan for when they resettle back into the community.
By giving these families a place to rebuild their lives, we can prevent children being taken into care, thereby reducing the cost to the government (and therefore you, the taxpayer), and help keep families together.

Social Bite is a national Social Enterprise in Scotland. Through a chain of cafes and restaurants we employ over 100 people many of whom have struggled with homelessness. We are the largest distributor of fresh free food to the homeless in the UK giving out over 100,000 items of food and hot drinks per year.
Social Bite prepares hand made food every day, using fresh, healthy and local produce. No sell by dates. No preservatives. Just the best local ingredients, served up daily.
Social Bite exists not for greed, not for profit, but for those experiencing homelessness. This is not a token gesture. This is not a PR spin. This is just a different kind of business. A business to help others. This is a Social Business.
