A warm welcome to Bedford Borough Council Adoption Service!


We are delighted to welcome Bedford Borough Council Adoption Service to CATCH – the Children And Trauma Community Hub! Bedford’s commitment to finding secure and loving homes for children in need of permanence through adoption is truly inspiring.

Bedford Borough Council Adoption Service provides comprehensive support to adoptive families throughout their journey, ensuring that both children and their new parents receive the guidance and assistance they need to thrive. This aligns perfectly with CATCH’s mission to connect and empower organisations and individuals dedicated to improving the lives of children affected by trauma.

We are eager to work with Bedford Borough Council Adoption Services and support their invaluable work in building strong and nurturing families within the Bedford Borough community.

  • Meet-ups with other adopters and adoptive families
