10 mile walk · 4 July 2021

We hope to raise £20,000 throughout May in order to continue supporting families on Wirral through our groups, courses and social activities.

Story

Ferries Family Groups have been supporting families on Wirral for over 30 years!We are supporting over 130 families.We have 6 part-time staff. and 20 wonderful volunteers. In September 2019, we moved into our Family Hub in Royal Standard House. We occupy three units - each unit dedicated to those we support through groups, courses and creche facilities.

This is an excellent group which I have myself used and enjoyed been part of. To help ensure the good work can continue I would like to do my bit and try and help raise a bit of money for them.  So my self and Ruth will be doing a 10 mile walk. Every little bit helps.

About the charity

We support and deliver peer support groups for parents and family members struggling with the stresses of life. As well as providing 'Family Groups' we also provide other social activities and training opportunities such as the Nurturing Programme (10 week parenting course) and Talking Teens (4 week course). We have a Mens group, Reading group, Stay and Play for Young Mums group, Foster & Adoptive parents group, Calm & Create mental health support group, Singing for wellbeing group, creche support for all courses and 1 to 1 crisis support. We support families often dealing with complex and varied challenges, these including poverty, loneliness, post-natal depression, mental health issues, bereavement, domestic violence, substance dependency, lone parenthood, children with additional needs and difficult behavioural problems, teenage issues, low educational achievement and so on. Parental mental ill-health and isolation can be caused by or create life stress and can have a significant impact on the lives of dependent children. These may include socio-economic disadvantage, marital conflict or attachment formation issues that affect emotional, social and behavioural development and can increase the risk of developing psychiatric disorders in childhood, adolescent, and later adult life. The prevention and intervention at an early stage are of great importance. FFG works to improve and maintain parental mental wellbeing improving outcomes for both adults and children.
