With adoption being part of the fabric of the family unit, comes early life trauma, loss and disabilities, the family live with daily challenges of navigating a variety of hurdles involved, which significantly add to their knowledge and skill set when it comes to delivering youth services that are inclusive and provide equality wherever possible as a charity.
