How we can help

Information and advice
We are a children centre based service offering information and advice to parents and carers of children aged 0-5 years old with any special need or disability as well as profesionals working with families. We provide a drop-in and phone service and advise on benefits, grants and any other issues. We also support families to access children's centres in their area which offer a range of services for under 5's.

These include family support services, childcare, health services and employment advice.

Newsletter
Contact a Family Lambeth produces a quarterly newsletter. It offers information on sources of local support, events, topics of interest to families such as benefits, holidays and national organisations. The newsletter is available free to members.

Support groups
There are opportunities to meet up with other parents in the borough for support and to share information.

Workshops and pamper sessions
We run pamper sessions and workshops in the children's centres on a variety of topics such as challenging behaviour, coping with a new diagnosis and stress management.

Membership

To become a member you can contact us directly or ask a professional, friend or family member to get in touch with us on your behalf. We will arrange a time to discuss your family's needs and identify the best ways of supporting you.

Debt advice in London

Contact a Family has entered into a pilot project with Citizens Advice Bureau to improve the supply of face to face debt advice to families with disabled children. The Greater London area is one of the pilot areas in which the new service has started. There are seven workers based in Camden CAB who offer advice and help for families with disabled children anywhere in the Greater London area. They will arrange to visit you at home anywhere in London. If you would like to make an appointment, please call the Contact a Family helpline on 0808 808 3555 and we will arrange an appointment for you.
