For over 40 years Save the Family has provided safe and supported accommodation, training and life skills. The families we support have lost everything and are fighting that last battle – to keep their children from being taken into care and remain independent. Save the Family offer a last chance to these families by providing temporary accommodation along with support and access to training to help get them back on their feet and contribute and benefit from living successfully back in the community.
We believe in keeping homeless families together, do you?
