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. Perhaps 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 for the children or Easter Eggs (click here to 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 - click here to find out more.

talents you possess - there is sure to be a way you can help.
Good News Family Care aims to be as 'self-financing' as possible but there's always a shortfall between operating costs and income. In spite of that, 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 many churches, companies, trusts, institutions and individuals to give us their support.
and a 10-minute DVD* about the ministry of Good News Family Care. We also have a small exhibition stand which we can bring to events.
