Families
Plus
Children
North East believes that parents want the best for their children.
We know that children and young people do best in their lives
if they are brought up in stable families with the support
of their parents. The purpose of Families Plus is to offer
a range of tailored services and support to families who are
struggling with difficulties that are entrenched and often
arising from their own childhood experiences

support and advice to organisations and agencies across the
