Adoption UK - 50th Anniversary

Adoption UK is 50!

50 is a big milestone, and an opportunity to pause, reflect and plan for the future. For 50 years we have supported, advocated, championed and been there for adoptive families around the UK.

Today our cause is as clear and compelling as ever; to secure the right support at the right time for the children at the heart of every adoptive and kinship care family.

For Adoption UK, this all began in 1971, when Elvis Presley and The Jackson 5 were in the charts, a gallon of petrol was 33p and two adopters starting running a voluntary organisation from their homes, for adopted children with special needs. Adoption has changed a lot since then, and so have we.

50th Fundraising Heroes

As part of Adoption UK’s 50th Anniversary celebrations we are going to be looking for Fundraising Heroes to join our merry band in 2021, as we aim to raise £50,000 from at least 50 different fundraising heroes, completing a variety of fundraising activities throughout the year.

If you would like to complete a challenge in our honour – then we want to hear from you.

Simply complete this short form
and tell us what your plan is, when you’d like to do it and how much you think you could raise for Adoption UK.

You can run, jump, cycle, bake, quiz, bingo or swing your way to helping us achieve our goal.

We’ll be adding more details to this page in the coming weeks and months, so please register your interest now and keep an eye out for future updates.
