Our Mission is to provide whole-family service for young mums, dads, and their children, working with familiesw to meet their individual needs and create a positive start to family life

Our Way of Working

​

Our Theory of Change sets out how we believe we can help young parent families to have the best possible future.

Our Practice Framework explains what how we work with families. It is based on national and local research and strategies, and 26 years’ experience of working with young parent families. We offer an integrated whole-family approach:

​

Groupwork – for mums, dads and children,  with activities focusing on healthy, happy and safe outcomes for families

Outreach –  reaching isolated families in their homes and communities

Casework – for those experiencing increased risk

Dads Work – including dads in their child’s life

Partnership working  – working with other agencies to offer coordinated, integrated support

Evidence-based practise – to ensure best outcomes

Needs-assessed – placing services where and how they are needed most

Peer-based – young parents learning from each other

Creativity – self-expression, identity and community through arts
