Disadvantaged families with young children are facing unprecedented challenges, juggling poverty, poor mental health, disability, temporary housing and/or isolation. Our 1:1 and group support is vital to enable families to overcome hurdles and give their children the best possible start in life.

The families we support are struggling to cope, facing disadvantages and challenges that threaten their children's development in the critical early years aged 0-5. The majority live in poverty and many in temporary accommodation, with health and isolation issues, leading to children lacking the security, comfort and opportunities they need. Without preventative support, families are at risk of crisis and children face poor long-term social, academic, emotional, health and economic outcomes.
We provide a lifeline of consistent practical and emotional support through 1:1 home visiting and group activities, intervening early to prevent harm and improve outcomes. We provide a listening ear and a helping hand, enabling families to navigate challenges and build skills and confidence to support their children's development. Group activities (eg reading, crafts, gardening, outdoor play) combat social isolation, promote peer support and stimulate social, physical and early-learning skills.
