Stronger families Programme

We offer support to anyone who is unemployed with dependent children to get back in to work.
The programme can also help with debt, housing, accessing education, and CV writing support.
We realise there are lots of reasons that day to day life can make this difficult and offer support with things like health and wellbeing, reducing debt and budgeting as well as supporting the transition into work. We work closely with other organisations that offer a range of services.
This is a voluntary programme and is available to anyone who meets the eligibility criteria.
