Hi, I’m Nic Thorpe and in January, I joined the Home for Good team as the new Yorkshire and North East Coordinator.

I just want to take a moment to thank you for such a warm welcome. I’m settling in well and I am looking forward to connecting with churches, leaders and volunteers in the region. This has been my focus over the last six weeks.

I hope to meet as many of you as possible as we shape and grow Home for Good’s work in Yorkshire and the North East. I feel a real sense of privilege to be given this role and I am excited to work with you across the region. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to have a chat about anything related to Home for Good, particularly if you would like to host an event at your church, book a Home for Good speaker or volunteer with us.

On 29 February, I will be sharing at South Craven Evangelical church at 7:30pm. If you’re in the area, do come and say hello.

I look forward to sharing more updates, encouragement, and stories next time.

What can I be praying for?

We would love you to stand with us in prayer as we continue to work to find a home for every child who needs one and supported those that have already opened their homes in Yorkshire and the North East .

• Pray for Nic as she meets with leaders and volunteers across the region, that she will make meaningful connections and develop a network that will support the work of Home for Good.
• Pray for all of our Champions and Peer Support Volunteers across Yorkshire and the North East, asking God to guide and bless them in all they do to inspire and support others.
• Pray that God would continue to prompt and inspire people to explore whether they could play a part in fostering, adoption or supported lodgings.

Check out our prayer resource, Let’s pray, for additional thoughts, inspiration and points to guide your prayers.

Are there any events happening soon that I can attend?
