OUR MAIN CHARITIES IN 2018

Action for Children-Upper Nithsdale family Service.

When times are bad, families need extra support. We use a system of whole-family support, providing an intensive relationship and support to contribute to the wellbeing of families we work with; this can stabalise families and enable them to overcome their difficulties and live happier lives together.

If families and relationships are strengthened, children who were previously on the edge of being placed in care are able to stay at home.

We work with each member of the family with all children in the household receiving care and attention, and where necessary we work with other significant members of the household if we believe this will help.

Our work;

Keeps children out of care;   Helps parents towards employment; Reduces children's involvement in crime; Makes more confident parents; Helps families to better mental health.
