Welcare is a family support charity working with families and children up to the age of 13 in South London and East Surrey.
The focus of our work is to provide practical and emotional support and advice, individual one-to-one work and group work programmes. We work alongside parents and carers helping them use their strengths and skills to nurture secure and confident children.
Our services are driven by our Christian values, and we work with those of all faiths and none; our sole aim is to help those in greatest need.

People we’ve helped
Kim and her three children, Leo (aged 13), Sophie (aged 9), and Mason (aged 5) were referred to Welcare by their Local Authority following 18 months of domestic abuse from the children's father to Kim.
Domestic Abuse / Emotional Wellbeing
Farah, her husband Amir, and their two sons Zain (aged 6) and Jamal (aged 5) were referred to Welcare by local Children’s Disability Service to help Farah who was feeling overwhelmed and struggling to manage the family’s debt.
Emotional Wellbeing / Financial Support
Isabel, aged 9, and her sister Grace, aged 8, were both referred to Welcare’s pilot school group programme by the school pastoral team. There was a history of domestic violence and parental conflict, and they were each struggling to recover from the trauma in different ways.
Domestic Abuse / Emotional Wellbeing
Following a recommendation from the Family Courts, Mark referred himself to the Welcare Caring Dads programme because he wanted to learn more about abuse, abusive relationships and how to address issues in relationships, as well as get support to improve his relationship with his children and enable him to become a better father.
