We record milestones as it's important to celebrate the incredible work that each Safe Families volunteer, church and member of staff is doing to support children and families, and to mark the amazing things God has done through Safe Families.
To find milestones, click on the Activity tab, then select milestones. This will take you to either the "Region/Area Milestones" or the "Church Milestones" page.
On the Milestones views, you can see a list of recent milestones reached in your region, you can click to alternate between Region milestones and Church milestones.
Region/Area Milestones
This view shows you when your region, a Local Authority area within your region, or the UK as a whole has reached a new milestone.
Region and Area milestones are split into 5 types:
- Volunteers
- Families Supported
- Children Benefitting
- Bed Nights
- Churches or Community Groups
Church Milestones
This view shows you when a church in your region has reached a new milestone. Click on the church name to jump to their record.
Church milestones are split into 4 types:
- Volunteers
- Families Supported
- Children Benefitting
- Bed Nights
Milestones are listed in date order, newest to oldest. By default you will see all milestones from the last year. You can use the date picker at the top of the page if you'd like to see milestones from a larger or smaller date range, and use the drop-down options to filter your search.
When a church, area or region reaches its very first milestone, this is marked by the star icon.
Note that we started recording church milestones on 17/10/19, and region/area milestones on 22/10/19. For any churches or places where we were already supporting families before those dates, the 'first milestone' date may not be accurate.
