We provide targeted services for children and young people across the age range 0-19yrs+. Working together with key partners, we aim to ensure that we have maximum impact on achieving positive outcomes for your family.

Our staff are skilled and committed to understanding your needs and identifying with you the right support to help you to achieve your goals. Key workers can work with you on an individual basis, offering a more tailored and targeted responses. Though our neighbourhood centres and outreach programmes, outreach workers offer a range of groups and drop in services to meet a wide range of needs.

We work in partnership with other agencies within our centres to ensure we can bring together the right support for you in your local area.

A family support worker is someone who helps families in need of practical or emotional support, particularly when difficulties arise around parenting and the wellbeing of children.

Our Family Support Workers, Michelle Catterall and Ellen Graves, work across both Duke Street Nursery School and Highfield Nursery School, providing support to children and families from the early stages of intervention and throughout their journey with us.

They offer guidance and practical support on a wide range of matters, from helping families access services such as dentists and promoting good oral health, to arranging food parcels and providing assistance when working alongside external agencies. Their role is to help ensure families recieve the support they need, when they need it. They are here every step of the way.
