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
Amy and 7 of her 8 children, aged between 1 – 16, were referred to Welcare due to complex housing and financial challenges and Amy’s difficulty establishing boundaries and routines at home.
Financial Support / Housing
Yvonne was living with extended family in a two bedroom flat – this meant that 4 children and 4 adults were vying for space and attention. With no outdoor space and two of the children sharing a bed there was constant chaos, little structure and increasingly aggressive behaviour.
Boundaries & Behaviour / Emotional Wellbeing / Financial Support / Housing / Parenting Support
Kate was a young mother who was living in unsuitable accommodation. Welcare’s team empowered Kate to turn her life around and start making plans for how to bring her daughter up in a safe loving home.
Domestic Abuse
Samuel, a single father, came to Welcare when he was struggling financially just before Christmas. We were able to help with food and heating costs, and enable Sam and his children to have a proper family Christmas.
