our Home Advantage champions
Natalie Pinkham – Sky Sports F1 Presenter
“Home Advantage makes me think of my parents and the love they showed me growing up and still do, also the amazing love they shared with children they fostered and the joy that brought. Every child needs and deserves that. Always family, never orphanages.”
Damon Hill – 1996 F1 World Champion
“When my dad died I realised that the advantages of home are something we can all take for granted, how my mum had to struggle to keep the family afloat. And as a father, family is the most important thing. No child should be in an orphanage when it’s possible to find them a loving home.”
Jamie Baulch – 3x World Champion Sprinter
“My Home Advantage was definitely my amazing parents, they adopted me when I was a baby and gave me all the love and support I could have ever wanted. The idea that a child wouldn’t have that opportunity and instead be confined to a loveless orphanage is unimaginable.”

Who are Hope and Homes for Children?
Since 1994, Hope and Homes for Children has been working to stop the institutionalisation of children. We’re 200 people, in ten countries, inspiring organisations, including the UN, EU and governments around the world, to close the doors of orphanages forever. Instead, we fight for every child to feel the love and belonging of a safe family home.
