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. Our managed peer support makes a positive difference to &#x27;our&#x27; families who are empowered to make positive choices and increase their skills, confidence, resilience, and independence so that they are less reliant on external support.
