Parenting Help & Information

Family Action

"Shockingly there are still places in Britain today where mothers go hungry to feed their families, where children have to be fed and clothed on just £3 a day. These are the families that
Family Action supports by helping them to find a way to a better life." Dame Judi Dench

We work with people to build confidence and self-esteem:
we enable children to have fun and excitement,
lone parents to make friends,
mentally ill people to rebuild their life in the community.
