Hampshire County Council awarded a contract to Home For Good for foster carer recruitment aimed at increasing the number of foster carers in Hampshire County Council Children's Services and contributing to £4.7m in cost avoidance for the Saving Programme 2023.

The contract, valued at AUD 42,000, covers training for council staff, staff support, marketing to the Christian community via Home For Good's social media platforms and brand, recruitment activity, and lead generation.

A direct award was made due to Home For Good's unique experience and relationship-building within the Christian community, with no other suitable suppliers available.
