Safe Families UK is a Christian charity working hand-in-hand with children's services to link families in need with local volunteers who can offer them help and support. When a crisis strikes a family with children, its effects can be devastating. Many of us would turn to relatives and friends for support. However, some families can be really isolated with nobody there to help them. Safe Families for Children provides support for such families whilst their issues are being resolved, often providing a short stay for their children with a trustworthy family, if needed. Safe Families for Children has been operating in the UK since 2013, and partners with local authorities in the North East, North West, Midlands, South and South West, Scotland and Wales.
