Every family is different
Whatever shape your family, whatever you’re going through, we’re here for you at every age and stage of life. We are Family Action.
The project has been the hand that brought me out of the darkness, the hand that wiped my tears, held me up when I was weak. It has been like a mum to me.
Through change, challenge and crisis, Family Action is here for any family in need and anyone without family support. It’s what we’ve done for over 150 years.
Across the UK, we protect children, support young people and adults and offer direct, practical help to families and communities.
