Parent toddler groups and child orientated social activities in a supportive, safe environment for parents and children alike. SFC pass on donations of nappies, baby milk, equipment, baby wipes and other items along with donations of food to help their families.
Support workers dealing with emergency housing and accommodation issues, providing support, advice and access to temporary accommodation when appropriate. SFC provide emergency assistance food bags which provide enough food for 48 hours which needs little or no preparation or cooking as many people do not have access to a cooker or microwave.
