Come and be healed, as we have seen God do amazing things before.
Our prayer is for the Uniting of Churches on the Island & to work together for His Glory. We believe that God can break through in a move of the Spirit, in Jesus name.

Shoebox Appeal

Would your church like to support children across the globe who have nothing? Please consider working with OCC (Operation Christmas Child) this year and encouraging people around you to make up a shoebox.

This is an evangelistic organisation who work with local churches in the countries they take boxes to. In some places they are able to offer discipleship courses to the children and their families.

Check out their website….

Here you will find lots of information, videos and resources to share with church, school or workplace.
I am happy to point people in the right direction.
I will be working with my local church and encouraging local schools to be involved.

Please call or message me if you would like some help in organising this in your church or school.

Adopt South


Adopt South | Health and social care | Hampshire County Council (hants.gov.uk)
 
Our Web Site lists Upcoming Events which include virtual 1 to 1 appointment with a member of the team. This is a really accessible way for people living on the island to have that 1 to 1 interaction with us and ask any questions they might have about the process.
 
We also offer Online Adoption Information Sessions which are held via zoom every other Monday evening 7-8pm by 2 social workers and an adopter. So a lot of options for people to interact with us and gather information if they are interested in adopting.

Here’s some events you will find on our website:
                       

Adopt South will also be at the Lionheart event on the Island on Saturday, 15th July 2023 and the Garlic Festival on 19-20 August.

Project Fusion – bringing together community, mental health and learning disability services
 
We are bringing together Community, Mental Health and Learning Disability Services across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight into one, new NHS Trust by April 2024.
 
The temporary name of this programme of work is Project Fusion and it involves Isle of Wight NHS Trust, Solent NHS Trust, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, and also Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust which provides Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Hampshire. 
 
Bringing these services together in this way will deliver benefits for both patients and staff.  For patients it will ensure that no matter where you live, your access to services will be the same, the service you get will be the same and your health outcome will be the same.  For staff, bringing organisations together will help reduce staffing vacancies, offer career progression and development opportunities and support professionals working more closely together.
 
Local services will still be delivered close to home in each area, but by sharing resources and expertise we aim to improve the way services work to benefit our patients, communities, and our staff.
 
Joining together will also help us collectively to meet the changing and increasing needs of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight population, ensuring our services are in good shape, joined up and continue to be available for years to come.
 
For more information you can
visit our website
 
We want to hear from you, so if you have any questions or feedback, you can email us at iownt.iowfusionfaqs@nhs.net 
 
We would very much like to come and discuss this with your group/s (members) and have a chance to discuss any hopes or concerns they might have.

My name is Lucy Nicholas and I am a volunteer champion for home for good. A few years ago before the pandemic hit, we were part of a group that helped to launch the charity on the Isle of Wight. But with everything closing down, we were at a loss about what we could do. Now that everything is opening up again, a few of us were approached by Adopt South to find out if there were any island churches who would like to engage with them.
 
My request is therefore two fold.
 
1) to see if anyone would like to join our Facebook group (link below), so that we could arrange an information event which Adopt South can join. If you are not on social media, please email me in lucynich14@gmail.com and let me know your interest.
 
2) To find out if there are any other Christian adoptive parents / foster carers on the island who would like to have a regular meet up where we can provide prayer or peer support for each other. Most probably this could happen quarterly so that it won't be too much of a commitment for anyone.
 
If anyone can circulate this amongst their church families, I would be ever so grateful. Thanks very much for reading, love and prayers to you all.
