Become a Friend
For many of our families, life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and so it is vital that our services are constant and sustainable.
By becoming a Friend you will help us be here for our families whenever they need us.
We are a small charity, and we do not waste money. All of our staff work part-time, and we rely heavily on a team of dedicated, unpaid volunteers and trustees.
But we do not receive any government or statutory funding and need to raise more than £120,000 every year.
That is why our Friends are so important.
Friends support our work with regular donations, helping us to keep costs down and plan ahead. That in turn allows us to keep the trust with our families, confident that we will be here for them whenever they need us.

We support families who are facing tough times.

A mum who is stuck at home with her baby daughter, feeling isolated and scared, needs to know that when she comes to our Tuesday group she won’t be judged or criticised or told what to do, but she will be heard and encouraged. And if she can’t make it this Tuesday, we will still be here next Tuesday – and the Tuesday after that.


A boy needs to know that no matter how angry he is with his mum or how badly he has been bullied by the boys in his class, his befriender comes every Thursday afternoon, and they always have a good time together, even if it is just walking the dog or going for a hot chocolate in town. And, if he wants to talk, his befriender will always listen.
