Westminster outreach services

What we offer

Our outreach teams are based across the borough and we have workers who speak community languages, such as, Arabic, Bengali, French and offer a friendly home visiting service to families with children under 5 including pregnant women. Family Lives’ Outreach Teams cover services in The City of Westminster. We provide families with practical support, introduce them to local services and organisations to support their needs in various issues such as:

• Parenting and family support
• Material grants and financial support
• Childcare and nurseries

• Housing
• Isolation
• Relationship issues/domestic abuse
• Health services

• And much more

We continuously listen to the views of parents and support them to ensure their thoughts and feelings can enable change to take place. We also provide volunteering opportunities for local families to work alongside outreach workers to develop their skills and acquire work experience to gain employment. Many of our volunteers have gone on to find paid employment. Children’s Centres also give you support through their services which include: 

• Play sessions
