Safe Families

Safe Families is a charity that works with 30+ local authorities around the UK. Safe Families offer hope, belonging and support to children, families and care leavers; we do this primarily, but not exclusively, with and through local churches. We recruit amazing volunteers who love, support and encourage local families in their time of need. Volunteers help in different ways by befriending families, providing resources and some provide regular overnight hosting for respite. We have a small team in St Helens and Knowsley and we are looking to promote our work in the area, working in partnership with other local agencies and organisations and at the same time reaching out to local people to volunteer. Nationally we have 80 staff and 4800 volunteers, but locally we have only 4 part time staff and 78 volunteers across St Helens and Knowsley.
