Friends of the Family offers confidential and non-judgemental support tailored to individual families who are at a low ebb. Our services include therapeutic provision and befriending, both of which complement the work of other agencies a family may be involved with. By working together, we help families discover their own strengths and in turn find their own solutions to problems they are facing.
We have rigorous safeguarding procedures in place that underpin our work with children and families. To find out more please read our Safeguarding and Protection Policy
“Life had become difficult, we had lost a loved one and things went downhill. Our volunteer was a great comfort; she was a life saver in times that felt so bleak. She taught me how to trust in myself as I always felt I was letting my children down, I cried a lot, not knowing what to do. Today we are a different family, we do talk, everyone listens and we smile…a great weight has been lifted.”
Referring a family is simple. We have basic referral criteria, but we treat each inquiry individually. It is vital that the support we offer is right for the families and children referred to us. We therefore suggest you always contact us first to discuss your referral in more detail.
