Good News Family Care aims to be as 'self-financing' as possible but there's always a shortfall between operating costs and income because nobody is ever turned away from our doors due to lack of funding. If God sends a family to us we know we can rely upon him to provide the means. Since we opened in 1995 He has inspired churches, companies, trusts, institutions and individuals to give us their support.

Our need for financial support is on-going, of course, so we need your continued support to develop and maintain existing facilities and to fund new projects such as Skills Training and Dependency Recovery. We can only help God rebuild broken lives with your support.

There are several ways you can make financial donations:

(1) Send a cheque or postal order (payable to "Good News Family Care") to:

We welcome gifts of Food, Clothing, Soft Furnishings, Furniture, Electrical Goods, Office Equipment, Toys, Kitchenware, Cutlery etc. Donations of this kind are not only useful in themselves, they release funds for use in other vital areas. Please check our Guide to Donating Goods before delivering. One thing is certain: nothing is wasted - what we don't use directly we pass on to needy families or sell to raise funds. If you would like to receive our current 'Wish List' send an email to

We have support from local churches too and at Harvest Festival time we receive lots of lovely fresh produce and groceries.

Among our more unusual supporters are "The Bikers" - an amiable bunch of motorcycle enthusiasts who visit us from time to time, usually laden to the gills with Toys at Christmas or Easter Eggs (photos) We all look forward to their morale-boosting visits and many children (and parents!) benefit from their generosity.

Another way you can support us is by saving "collectables" such as Postage Stamps and Foreign Currency.
