information SERVICE DETAILS

Our team of trained adult volunteers can offer consistent, regular support to members of your family who may need it. Your volunteer can help family members to build confidence and self-esteem, help with those tasks that you find challenging, be an extra pair of hands to support quality family time or be a listening ear when needed.

The sort of support we offer can include:

Family Support

Our team can help you with support and advice to ensure things get better for you and your children. We can help with a number of issues such as building better family relationships, improving things at school, your health and wellbeing, worries about money.

Support for Young People

If you are aged between eight and 26 the Whole Family Equality Project youth engagement officer can work with you individually to help you through education, employment, volunteering and training. They will help you develop your skills through mentoring, support and by connecting you with other young people with similar experiences

Employability Support

Our partners pRESPECT and LinkNet can help you to work towards your work and career goals and aspirations. They are experienced in supporting people from diverse communities in work, training and education, including in recognising, identifying and addressing the barriers to employment resulting from the entrenched nature of racial inequality.
