Since its inception in 2019, Family Friends has been dedicated to supporting families in need by providing them with gifts and treats—things many of us may take for granted.

Any family can encounter difficult times, struggling to make ends meet. Often, homelessness is just the visible symptom of a host of underlying and complex issues. At The Roberts Centre, we are committed to addressing these challenges head-on, helping families not only survive but also find hope and achieve positive outcomes.

Given that all our families are facing difficult times be that homelessness, poverty, or family breakdown, we offer all current service users the opportunity if they feel they would benefit from it.

If you decided to take part, you would be provided with basic details of one or more individuals or families who could do with a little extra support over the festive season.

You would be given details of the family such as first name, age, likes, needs and ideas for what they like. We request all individual gifts are left unwrapped. There is no minimum or maximum spend involved and all details are anonymised.

If you or someone you know would like to get involved, please call us on 02392 296919 or email info@robertscentre.org.uk

We look forward to your support in making this year’s Family Friends Project a success!
