Do you know about these services?

News from Contact A Family  - 

Contact a Family Cymru - Funding News
We are delighted to announce we have been granted funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation: a family-founded, grant-making trust which has been supporting charities across the UK for over 50 years.

As from April 2017 we will deliver a programme of workshops across Wales. The workshops are for families caring for children with disabilities or additional needs. By families we mean parents, foster carers, grandparents, family friends, adult siblings etc. – all welcome. The workshops run for around three hours and are available to groups of families. This could be:
  • Local or national parent support groups.
  • Groups of families brought together by health, social care, school or community workers.
  • Or, simply, a handful of families that happen to know each other.
If you would like to learn more about our free workshops please contact Kate on telephone: 07904 672614 or email: cymru@cafamily.org.uk
 
Money Matters

Our freephone helpline 0808 808 3555 can provide details of both national and local debt advice services, benefits and other financial help.
Money Matters is a checklist of benefits and financial help for families
Help with fuel bills and keeping warm. Advice and information to help your family stay warm this winter and find out about any help that may be available.
