Family Support Workers – Part of the
Southern Brooks Community Partnership.
At Family Support our priorities are supporting
families and developing services for children
and young people. We believe in helping families
to work together by providing a responsive,
flexible family focussed service.
We are not counsellors or social workers
but can offer support and information for
any family that may be experiencing difficulties,
feelings of isolation or just needing some
information and not being sure where to ask.
Our Family Support Workers are: Kim Morton,
Corrina Wood and Stacy Harvey. They can all
be contacted on 01454 867 076.
