Why we're needed
Life today is full of pressures. Parenting is a challenging job and growing up in an inner city can be tough. Parents can feel low, vulnerable, confused about how to move forward or swamped by responsibilities. This can have a knock on effect on their children, affecting their education, self esteem and career prospects in later life. Through our respect, encouragement and support, families discover their strengths, resolve difficulties and build on their coping skills.
How we're doing
- In 2018 we helped over 68 families which has impacted on 218 individuals.
- 100% of families reported improvements as a result of the service with 100% rating the service ‘Good’ to ‘Great’.
