Types of Support
Volunteer Support
We match families with a trained volunteer who visits weekly for 2–3 hours for up to 6 months. Support is mainly for children aged 0–3, but we help families with 3–5-year-olds when possible.
Direct Staff Support
For families with more complex needs, our Family Support Worker and Coordinators offer focused support for up to 4 months to help get things back on track.
Student Social Work Support
Under expert guidance, student social workers provide extra hands-on support while gaining valuable experience. Families benefit from fresh perspectives and additional resources.
Dad Matters
We support dads of newborns with drop-ins at maternity centres, 1:1 peer support, and guidance on parenting, mental health, and local services. As part of the national Dad Matters network, we offer both local and online support.
Advice & Signposting
If we’re not the right fit, we’ll do our best to connect families with other services, resources, and support networks that can help them move forward.
