Social events
Local events
We host social events regularly throughout the year, to give adopters a space to meet up, socialise and make connections with other adoptive families.
Summer event
We’re busy planning our next big family get-together, our annual summer event. This year is the Centennial of the Adoption Act, so we are busy planning our biggest event yet. We can’t wait to share more details soon, so for now, pop 5 July in your diary and save the date to join us.
National events
There are national organisations who provide events to members, including social gatherings, forums and support.
New Family Social welcomes everyone who identifies as lesbian, gay, bi, asexual, trans, questioning, queer, intersex, pansexual, transgender, gender non conforming, non binary and gender fluid. You can find social events, forums, advice, guidance and articles through their website.
Adoption UK hold regular events across England for families to attend. They range from walk and play meet ups, to forest school, light trails and parent meet ups. If you join as members, you can also access peer support virtually and in person.
