We provide a life-line support to families who have one or more children under the age of 5 who are struggling to offer their children the best start due to their personal circumstances; Social isolation, poverty, poor mental health. Our bank of volunteers visit families in the home and offer practical and emotional support 2-3 hour weekly. We run a number of social groups on a weekly basis and both staff and volunteer support families to attend these groups. We also work closely with other local organisations such as midwifery, health visiting teams, local CBT clinic, well-being hub and foodbank to link our families to other sources of support. We are committed to widening our familie's social networks and to providing a service which is people led, and engaged with our communities needs.
