About Us

Comprehensive family support services for vulnerable families

Our Mission

At Togetherness for Families, we provide comprehensive family support services designed to help vulnerable families develop the confidence and skills needed to remain together.

Founded by a qualified social worker with 16 years of experience, we address the critical gap in intensive support services for families navigating complex challenges.

We partner with social workers, healthcare professionals and family solicitors to deliver specialised interventions that complement statutory services.

Professional Family Support Services

With over two years of established service in the community, our team delivers evidence-based interventions for families referred through professional channels:

  • 24/7 Emergency Support: Responsive intervention during critical family situations
  • Skilled Outreach Services: Community-based support tailored to family-specific needs
  • Edge of Care Support: Specialised interventions for children at risk of entering care
  • Supervision Services: Professional family contact supervision and monitoring
  • Parenting Capacity Building: Structured programmes to enhance parenting capabilities

Our referral-based model ensures seamless collaboration with local authorities, healthcare providers, and legal professionals working in family law.

Our Professional Approach

Our methodology is designed to complement and extend the work of referring professionals:

  • Skilled Matching: We carefully pair families with support workers who possess relevant expertise for each case’s specific challenges
  • Professional Standards: Our practice adheres to rigorous confidentiality protocols and ethical guidelines
  • Evidence-Based Practice: Our interventions are informed by current research and established methodologies
  • Comprehensive Documentation: We provide detailed reports and assessments to support professional decision-making
  • Multi-Agency Collaboration: We work effectively within integrated professional frameworks

Social Workers

We understand the pressures facing social services and offer reliable, intensive support that extends your capacity to serve families.

Our interventions can help prevent care proceedings, support reunification plans or provide the additional monitoring needed for complex cases.

Healthcare Professionals

For healthcare providers concerned about family functioning and its impact on patient wellbeing, we offer specialised interventions that address underlying family dynamics.

Our services can support families managing health conditions, developmental concerns or behavioural challenges.

Family Solicitors

We provide objective family assessments, supervised contact services and intervention programmes that can inform legal proceedings and support court-directed family plans. This is for both public and private law.

Our detailed documentation and professional observations assist in building comprehensive case materials.

  • May benefit from intensive intervention beyond standard service provision
  • Require specialised support to address parenting challenges or children’s behavioural issues
