Aimed at: Adults 18+
Family Lives' mission is to work around the clock to transform the lives of families. Our experience enables us to help families with any problem or challenge that they face. Our trained family support workers offer all adult family members immediate help on the phone, online or in local communities. We use our knowledge to campaign for changes to policy that support family life and use our first hand "family know how" to train and support professionals.

We are committed to providing evidence-based practice, adapted to the needs of local families and communities. We continually evolve our services to meet the growing and changing needs of families, particularly the most vulnerable or disadvantaged. We work in a variety of community settings, including schools, Sure Start centres, GP surgeries and criminal justice.
