Resource Befrienders may do some painting, joinery, gardening or anything practical that will help a family out.

Organisation aims and objectives

At Safe Families we believe that no one should feel alone, and we exist to create relationship and connection offering hope, belonging and support to children, families, and care leavers. Facing life alone is hard and when families feel like there is no one there to help, it is a scary place to be, so we link children, young people and families with local volunteers who can offer them help and support.
