We are pleased to announce that Families in Care has been granted funds from Rosa Woman to Woman ‘Tampon Tax' programme to deliver very exciting and unique training for birth mothers with the experience of adoption.
​
The mothers are taking part in regular sessions
to gain skills and confidence
necessary for public speaking.
​
At the end the women will deliver five conferences across the region, raising awareness and challenging stigma attached to adoption.
they will be assisted by our dedicated team of social work students, practitioners and volunteers.
​
This is an invaluable opportunity for us all
to learn from each other and to talk about adoption with birth mothers.
We are grateful to Rosa for enabling us to do it.
​
Thank you!
