WHEN I first saw a photograph of the little girl who was to become my daughter, she leapt straight in to my heart.
This is why on June 19 I am supporting ‘Big Heart Day’.
The campaign is run by the British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF), which works tirelessly for the many thousands of children in care across the UK who need to be found a loving family.
Children are at the heart of what BAAF does.
You too can do something to show your ‘big heart’ and help the charity ensure that no child waits longer than necessary for a loving and secure family whether through adoption or fostering.
There are lots of fun things you can do to help raise much needed funds – perhaps you can get your employers and colleagues to take part and show your big hearts together.
There are lots of ideas and more information at www.baaf.org.uk/join-our-big-heart-day. So please join me and support BAAF’s ‘Big Heart Day’ Campaign on Friday, June 19.
