It primarily works in the North West and North East of England and South Wales, but is also developing its services in London and the South East.
As well as offering support to adopted young people, including a free, confidential helpline and face-to-face counselling, it helps social services with adoption placements through its Families That Last programme.
It undertakes general assessments of adoptive families for hard-to-place children, and provides pre- and post-adoption training for carers.
The charity also commissions research into adoption and stages conferences, including the Best of Both Worlds event last year.
