The ultimate aim of all of our
family work is to increase the quality and life chances of children
ensuring they are safe from harm and have every opportunity to thrive.
In doing such we know that ‘family’ is a broad term encompassing more
than the biological parents. Through providing a range of services,
activities and support groups we are able to reach single parents,
married and co-habiting parents, families on low income and
professional parents with little time, older siblings, grandparents,
aunts, uncles, carers, foster carers, adoptive parents as well as other
agencies who also play a role in the childs life.
We
have
experience of service delivery for families from all backgrounds
including homeless families as well as those affected by domestic
violence.
We
believe that we must reach into the community to where the families are
and not expect all families to have the ability, desire or confidence
to come to the building we prefer. Through the use of outreach work and
our access to a variety of well placed community facilities through our
Diocesan connections, we are able to reach some of the most isolated
and vulnerable families.
