At Safe Families and Home for Good, we believe deeply in the power of community, connection and compassion. Every day, we work to ensure that no family feels alone, and every child has a home where they can flourish – whether through volunteers offering friendship and practical help, or individuals exploring fostering, adoption and supported lodgings.

We’re delighted to be partnering with AStepFWD at such a significant moment in their journey. As AStepFWD launches the UK’s first Official Christian & Gospel Singles Chart, a groundbreaking development that will shine a light on the creativity and impact of Christian and Gospel artists, we’re thrilled to stand alongside them.

At the heart of this partnership lies a shared belief: that people flourish when they are seen, supported and valued.

Just as AStepFWD amplifies the voices of artists whose music carries messages of faith and love, Safe Families and Home for Good are committed to bringing this same hope to children and families in our communities who are facing isolation, overwhelm or crisis.

Through our family support programme, we connect volunteers from local churches and communities with families who are isolated and overwhelmed. These volunteers offer friendship, practical help, and a listening ear – building relationships that restore dignity, reduce pressure, and help families stay together. It’s grassroots, relational, deeply personal and all about creating communities of true welcome and belonging.

At the same time, we walk alongside those exploring fostering, adoption, or supported lodgings – offering guidance and support. We want to see more people open their homes to children in care, and more churches equipped to wrap around those who do. Because, when children sadly do need to come into care, they deserve to be welcomed into homes and communities that are safe, stable and nurturing.

Alongside delivering practical support, we’re committed to systemic change. By amplifying the voices of children, young people, and families with lived experience we seek to bring transformation to the structures that can lead to families being isolated and children without support. We believe that deep and lasting transformation can only occur when we collaborate with others and so, through partnering with and equipping local authorities, policymakers, and faith communities, we reimagine what true care and community can look like.

We see this partnership with AStepFWD as a natural alignment of mission and heart. Together, we celebrate:
 Creativity that inspires hope
 Community that brings people together
 Faith that moves us toward compassion and action

We’re excited about what this partnership will bring: both amplifying a major cultural moment with the launch of the new chart and helping others who share our passion for strengthening families and creating safe, stable communities, to make a lasting difference.

If that’s you, and you would like to find out more about the ways you can get involved to make a difference in the lives of children and families, our free online information sessions are a great place to start. You’ll get an overview of how we connect volunteers with families who are isolated or overwhelmed, you’ll hear how we support those exploring fostering, adoption or supported lodgings, and you’ll find out more about how we’re working with churches and communities across the UK to offer friendship, practical help, and wraparound support to children and families.

As StepFWD marks this historic new chapter, we are honoured to walk alongside them. We believe this partnership will open meaningful opportunities to share stories, spark conversations and invite more people into the transformative work happening in communities across the UK.

We can’t wait to celebrate the first chart when it goes live and we’re even more excited about the lives that will be impacted as we work together, rooted in shared values and a shared hope.

Here’s to creativity, and here’s to community.
