Your gift will help to provide friendship, emotional support & practical help to local families and children in need. We have supported over 4000 families since we began in 1999.

We support any family living in Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, and Hammersmith and Fulham who needs us, providing there is at least 1 child under 5 or a baby on the way. Rich or poor, settled or transient; there are times when we all need support and friendship but do not know where to turn. Our trained and DBS checked volunteers provide non-judgemental practical and emotional support to parents with diverse needs, enabling and encouraging them to make positive change in their lives.

We believe parents are the first and most important educators of their children. With holistic, personalised support, parents are better able to be involved in their children's development, support children's learning, promote positive behaviour and healthy choices, and provide safe, stable homes.
