About this cause

We are a local charity supporting young vulnerable families with children up to the age of 12 who are struggling due to mental illness, domestic abuse, disability and isolation. We support families by matching them with a trained volunteer befriender to visit families in their own homes on a regular basis (usually weekly) to support them emotionally and practically with the challenges they face daily. Our Family Support Co-ordinators also support families in crisis by offer 1-2-1 support as well as membership of our Family Support Groups to bring families together, share their experiences and encouraging positive parenting.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We will bring families together who are isolated/have little support networks. We will help build their confidence as they share their worries, make friends and enjoy quality time - this will benefit the local community as families' resilience will increase, they will be able to cope better with the challenges they face, and their children will enjoy positive play to help their development.
