We are a charity to the north of Bristol that has been at the heart of the community since 1988.
We're passionate about helping people to make a difference in their lives, their families and neighbourhoods. We also support the local voluntary and community sector across South Gloucestershire and run a range of social enterprises.We work in a 'can do' way that challenges, respects and builds on individual and community skills and experience.
Why the community needs usParenting can be hard work! It can be a rollercoaster ride that can lead to feelings of isolation and self-doubt, as well as excitement and joy (sometimes all on the same day).We work with any family with children or young people aged 0-18, who may be experiencing difficulties. We accept referrals from any agency and families can self-refer. We provide family support workers, a counselling service, run coffee mornings and groups and manage an annual Christmas Hamper scheme. We run a memory cafe
Our impact on the communityAfter working with us, 100% of our families have improved social networks, reducing their isolation.90% of families demonstrated positive change in promoting good health.75% of families referred for behaviour issues demonstrated positive change.
Want to support people in the local community? Are you interested in gaining work experience in our cafe? We can offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities even if you only have a few hours to spare. Volunteering with us is fun and rewarding and offers a direct benefit in the local area.
