 Westminster Befriend a Family has been supporting families since 1989. When we first started working in the community we had only 18 volunteers. We now have in excess of 100 dedicated volunteers and interns helping us to help the community of Westminster by improving the quality of life, the employment and educational opportunities of its families. our mission statementWe help break cycles of disadvantage and social exclusion, promoting family cohesion, well-being and achievement. We do this by providing family support solutions for a wide range of issues by means of volunteer befriending, mentoring and advocacy, support and professionally led recreational activities. We offer our services in partnership with specialist organisations that follow our objectives. Our early intervention programmes are designed to create and nurture healthy environments in the homes of Westminster’s most vulnerable families. We are dedicated to providing the necessary support to overcome deprivation and inequality, so that Westminster’s families can lead happy and fulfilling lives. We want to create a community of healthy, resilient families who are free from disadvantage and fully integrated into their neighbourhood communities. |
