Situation
It is becoming increasingly difficult for parents to navigate the challenges that come with the current economic climate and ongoing post-pandemic issues. These issues can be particularly difficult for vulnerable parents, who may be reaching breaking point. Unfortunately, children's wellbeing is being negatively impacted by these challenges, and without support, these issues can continue to escalate and compromise children's development, health, and future outcomes.
Solution
Our local community network of trained volunteers and expert support helps families with young children through challenging times. Our approach is as individual as the people we’re helping, volunteers visit families weekly and offer practical and emotional support. Our family groups promote children's social, emotional, and physical development. Additionally, we offer a 10-week mental health course called ‘Something More’ designed to improve mental well-being.
