FAMILy service
We understand that family life can be chaotic and stressful. We offer a variety of quality services for local families. This includes groups from pregnancy to school age and individual support. We want to help parents make family life more manageable.
We know that being a parent is the hardest job that any of us has ever had to do and that it can be very isolating and stressful. We offer real support and some solutions to the real issues that life can present. Please do contact us for chat and we will do our best to help, you do not have to attend our groups to receive support.
Throughout the year we offer group programmes for parenting support and once a year we run the Freedom Programme for women who are victims and survivors of domestic abuse. As a small organisation we cannot offer everything to everybody but we can make referrals and recommendations for additional support.
