Adoption UK Impact Report - Our Work 2019-2020

Our short video (below) provides a snapshot of just some of the things we’ve done over the past year.

We’ve supported some amazing families and we’re incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved. We want to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped make all this happen – your support has helped change the lives of vulnerable children.

We’re certainly not standing still and there’s lots more we want to do – we’ll be giving you more regular updates on the difference we’re making as we continue to adapt to the current situation and reach even more adopters.
