Who is it for? What does it aim to achieve?

Safe Families is a charity that works with 30+ local authorities around the UK.  Safe Families offer hope, belonging and support to children, families and care leavers; we do this primarily, but not exclusively, with and through local churches. Safe Families link children, young people and families with local volunteers who can offer them help and support. Office hours are Mon-Friday 09.00 – 1700

How do people get involved? 

For professionals – Safe Families provide sustainable solutions for families within their own communities by delivering cost effective, relation-based services through trained local volunteers. Safe Families provides support that improves parents’ and carers’ wellbeing and confidence, reduces the need for children to go in to care and de-escalates family need enabling families to close to Children’s Services whilst being sustained in their own communities.
