About FACES Bedford


Tags: Social Welfare & Support Children & Education

FACES (Family and Children's Early-help Services) is a well established local independent charity offering practical and emotional support to families under stress.

FACES supports local children and families faced with difficult issues such as mental and physical health, domestic abuse, poverty, child sexual exploitation and behavioural issues via a range of quality-tested services and family support groups, many led by the team of dedicated volunteers. We do this by recruiting and training volunteers who work alongside our family support practitioners to deliver a unique menu of tailored services directly to a family, in their own home.

Your Impact

FACES is a local charity providing a holistic approach to solving some of our communities biggest challenges.
​
We operate within a range of preventative services available to children in need or families under stress. Families are generally referred to FACES by professionals, however every year around a quarter of families refer themselves. Many of the families who are referred to us find access to mainstream services difficult.
