CCS Adoption

Christina & Ed adopted their daughter Jasmine when she was just 4 years old. For their family, it's the everyday moments that mean the most - from Jasmine's first smile each morning to the final "love you" before bed ❤️

Adoption is about creating a place where a child can feel loved and secure - not just today, but every day.

At CCS Adoption, we see how important it is for young people to have the right support around them when things are difficult.

This autumn, we have a fantastic opportunity to raise more money to support the mental health and emotional wellbeing of adopted children and young people.

🤲 Thanks to the generosity of one of our supporters, we have £4,481 in match funding available. That means that for every £1 you donate, another £1 can be added!

💚 £10 could become £20
💚 £25 could become £50
💚 £50 could become £100

If you are able to make a donation, however small, between now and 30 November, this is a wonderful opportunity to make it go twice as far.

Donate now through our JustGiving page here:

Help us turn £4,481 into £8,962! Every £1 donated will be matched to support the mental health and emotional wellbeing of adopted children and young people. Donate by 30 November and make twice the difference.

CCS Photography Club went to WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre last Saturday and practised our wildlife photography skills! 📷

We were lucky enough to be welcomed by the WWT to explore their site and get up close and personal with some of the local wildlife. The young people who were involved in this group took some fantastic shots of the wildlife that Slimbridge has to offer. Including a firm favourite, Tilly the otter! 🦦

Thank you so much for having us! 💚

Adam & Ste adopted their daughter last year. Since then, they've been building routines, traditions and memories that will last forever ❤️

For a child who needs a permanent home through adoption, having someone there, day after day, can mean everything.
