When children play with a dolls house they usually adopt the roles of family members and re-enact scenes from family life. This gift provides time for a child who has experienced violence in their own home to talk to one of our support workers.
For young parents on their own, life can be a real struggle. A home visit from a support worker will provide practical advice about childcare, and an opportunity to talk about their own personal development.
Our volunteer befrienders make a big commitment to each child. Before they can take on this responsibility however, they have to undergo almost five months of extensive training and assessment. This in itself is a test of their dedication.
