Family friends work directly with families. Coming alongside parents and children when they need it most, making sure they feel less isolated.

Family friends offer flexible support to families who are struggling and isolated. Can you go for a walk with an isolated Mum or a Dad? Can you take a young person out for a coffee? There are many flexible opportunities and we support struggling families across Birmingham so it is likely that we will have opportunities near you.

We provide full training and there is an approval process.

Getting there

About Safe Families

No should feel alone. We’re here to bring people together, because everyone deserves to feel like they belong. Play your part to see children and families thrive. We have two volunteer roles. Family friends work directly with families. Coming alongside and giving support to parents and children when they need it most, making sure they feel less isolated. Host families open their homes to look after children from a night or two up to a couple of weeks. This gives a regular break and space to families dealing with issues or challenges.
