Parenting Help and Information

"Shockingly there are still places in Britain today where mothers go hungry to feed their families, where children have to be fed and clothed on just £3 a day. These are the families that Family Action supports by helping them to find a way to a better life." Dame Judi Dench . They work with people to build confidence and self-esteem and enable children to have fun and excitement, lone parents to make friends, mentally ill people to rebuild their life in the community.

The internet is a wonderful place for finding parental help and advice, but sometimes there is too much and finding exactly what you need can be time consuming and frustrating.
I created these pages over 20 years ago and have fine tuned them, and kept them up to date over the years to help all types of parents and carers, children and teenagers find the help they need quickly.
