A safe, welcoming space for vulnerable families in Westminster with a range of support services.
To alleviate the wider effects of poverty, deprivation for families living in Westminster by providing a drop in Family Space, with crèche, practical support, a range of activities, volunteering and learning opportunities. Also a place to share experiences with other families, make friends and have fun. We also provide creative arts and drama therapy for children, alongside local schools between 5-13 to help them express and manage difficult emotions, as well three parenting programs.
Why the community needs usOur project relieves the isolation and hopelessness many vulnerable families by creating a safe, welcoming space for all families, and creating a community they can get help from. Our parenting programs, support and therapy help both parents and children deal with relationship and emotional issues, which can change from feeling insurmountable to, not only being manageable, but enabling families to be confident and hopeful of the future
Our impact on the communityWe worked with 154 families last year in our Family Space from over 41 different ethnic backgrounds. 74 children were helped through creative arts and drama therapy.
