Ridley & Hall celebrated 15 years of SFAC at the Marriott Hotel in Leeds
Saturday, 16 September 2017
SFAC is a small NGO based in Leeds. All over the world, people are caring for children in orphanages, institutions, children’s villages, and large children’s homes; or, working with children in communities and making decisions about where and who they live with, without any specific training or qualifications.
SFAC wants to change this!
They are committed to taking children out of orphanages and placing them in their extended families.
Ridley & Hall are the leading firm in this country advising on kinship care. We share SFAC’s aims in making sure that kinship care is always considered and the carers are properly supported.
SFAC work with tiny NGOs through to the governments of Sri Lanka and Brazil (and many others in between!). Their aim is to ensure that everyone providing care for vulnerable children can access training and professional support that is accessible, adaptable and applicable to their own culture and context. They work closely with partners to help them set up and implement systems and procedures appropriate to their organisation to allow them to provide the best possible care for the children they work with.
It was a pleasure to help raising the funds for this vital work!
