Blackburn Family Centre has been
serving its local community for 16 years.
During this time the organisation has grown in response to the needs
of the area and it’s families. The Family Centre is in the process of
becoming a Company Limited by Guarantee with Charitable Status. The family
Centre is
run by a Board of Trustees comprising local people and service users.
All
of the Family Centre’s work focuses on education and personal development.
Health is a major focus of our work and is targeted from babies to grannies.
Throughout all of our programmes we target the development of social skills
and the building of self-esteem and confidence - particularly valuable for
some participants who experience arduous family circumstances and/or find
dealing with formal agencies difficult.
The company's aims are to promote the benefit of the
inhabitants of Blackburn/Seafield and in particular children and their
parents/families by advancing education, furthering health and providing or
assisting in the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure
time occupation so that the condition of life of the aforementioned children
and their parents/families may be improved.
The Centre works primarily with families on low fixed
income and we are able to offer them free Creche places while they are
making use of the services provided by the Centre.
