We are a unique resource in the area, recruiting and training a network of local community volunteers - many with first-hand experience of the issues our families face, with some having been previous beneficiaries of our support. At the heart of our approach is our in-home, peer mentor network of highly trained volunteers, who have completed a three-week training course and safeguarding training. . We also run two Family Support Groups, three drop-in groups and walking groups in some of the most disadvantaged communities in Falkirk.
