Organisation Reaches Out

Posted by James Gates on Dec 4, 08 04:08 PM in Charity/voluntary

The Adfam organisation is reaching out to grandparents in Southall who are bringing up their grandhchildren because the birth parents are drug users.

Family Changes is a London-wide scheme which aims to raise awareness of grandparents' feelings of isolation, shame and loss and promote best practice in delivering responsive and appropriate support for carers.

Adfam is also working to ensure that grandparents can be signposted to appropriate, up to date, specialist help, including advocacy and advice for those taking on parental responsibilities.

A series of free workshops are also being arranged for next year. If you would like to know more contact Jan Fry on 07770 281 853, email j.fry@adam.org.uk or call Adfam direct on 020 7553 7640.

We'd like to hear from you.
