There for parents when they need us most, because childhood can't wait

Why we need your help

Over 40 years of experience has shown us that our service can change lives. Parents and volunteers regularly tell us what a real difference we have made to their lives and their families.

Raising Funds

We are responsible for raising all the funds required to run our family support service. We need funds to keep delivering our service and to grow our capacity to meet the need in our communities. We know there are many families in Bristol and South Gloucestershire who need our help and we want to support as many as we can. 

What we do with our funds

As a small local charity, we make every penny count.  Over 82% of our expenditure is spent on our experienced staff who support families in need and the rest of our expenditure goes on promoting the service, training materials, our office and training base in Bristol and raising the funds to keep our services going.
