Parents' Aid
Our Mission Statement
Parents' Aid is a charity that works locally, for and with parents and families at risk of social exclusion, to improve the quality of their lives. We achieve change by championing their voices and providing support services to meet their needs.
Our Vision
A society in which all families are valued and treated equally and fairly.
Our Values
We value the diversity of family life.
We seek to be trustworthy. We can be relied on to deliver confidential, relevant and effective services that are evidence-based and free to families. Parents and their families can rely on us for support.
We seek to be resourceful. We work practically, flexibly and creatively to improve the lives of parents and children.
We seek to be enabling. We wish to provide parents with the knowledge, skills and the confidence they need to lead the lives they want.
Even caring and committed families may experience difficulties
Parents' Aid understands that the pressures of everyday living and the challenges to received standards of parenting imposed by modern society can leave parents feeling bewildered, isolated, overwhelmed and with the sense of no longer being able to cope.
Asking for help at this juncture can be one of the hardest things a parent can do, for fear of being judged and labelled by others. Parents' Aid understands the difficulties parents experience when seeking assistance in addressing problem areas.
Just A Phone Call Away...
