- A birth mum was reunited with her adopted daughter with the support of our Intermediary Services. She met her granddaughter for the first time.
- A mum recently returned to the drop-in at Langley Hall with her new baby, 15 years after attending the same drop-in with her first child! She has good memories of being there in the past, and met up again with another mum there who was also there 15 years ago!
If you can give anything, however small, you can be sure that it will go straight to the project or activity you have in mind. It will be even more valuable if you can Gift Aid your gift.
