The Parent House Supports parents to support themselves. We believe when parents thrive, children thrive.

Islington has one of the highest child poverty rates in the country. 47% of Islington children live in hardship and poverty. The Parent House (TPH) helps disadvantaged parents in Islington, make changes to their own lives, We support parents who are experiencing multiple disadvantages  including trauma, abuse, poverty, and poor mental health.  Over 600 parents are supported by TPH annually with training, income maximization, workshops, SEND parenting support and wellbeing sessions.

Amina came to the house after experiencing years of domestic abuse. She was going through the court system to protect herself and her 2 small children. She  was referred to The Parent House by a family support worker. At first she needed food bank vouchers, clothes for the children and an advocate to help her in court. As her journey with the house went on she took an accredited course and took a job as a school TA. She is now one of The Parent Houses most hard working volunteers and she supports new parents, particularly around helping with SEND children. she told us

"Before becoming part of the parent house community, I was depressed, isolated and struggling with a family to support, now I volunteer in my community. I  hope other parents & carers know that there is somewhere that is a stepping stone to getting back on track"

Every donation counts in helping to improve the lives of disadvantaged families in Islington and helps us to continue providing vital services for those struggling to cope,  feed their children and heat their homes and those who are ready to take steps towards improving their lives.
