Shepherds Bush Families Project & Childrens Centre

Homelessness isn't only about sleeping rough on the streets. Housing security and homelessness cover a wide range of situations. Many homeless people have a roof over their heads without having a proper home, because where they live is temporary, insecure, overcrowded, unsanitary or unsafe.

Shepherds Bush Families Project & Children’s Centre (SBFP&CC) is an independent charity; working with families who have housing needs; including families who are homeless, living in temporary accommodation or unsuitable accommodation that is overcrowded or in a state of disrepair.
SBFP&CC has been supporting local families for over 30 years and during this time we have adapted to the needs of our service users and worked with the funding available at each point in time.

We offer meaningful day time activities and sessions for parents/carers children and young people. We run pre-school, afterschool and holiday provision for C&YP. Parent & Child Play sessions, advice, advocacy and counselling.
