Mission

Family Lives are a National charity with over 3 decades experience of helping people deal with the challenges that are a constant part of family life. Our central mission is to provide FREE professional, non-judgmental support and advice in a way that all members of the family can access.We continue to reach over a million families through our helpline, website and operate face to face services in places as diverse as prisons, GP surgeries and schools. We also operate extensively from digital platforms to offer advice and guidance via our website, social networks, email response and a newly launched live online chat facility.We will be launching a new campaign in 2012 to raise awareness of the work we do, and raise funds to help us continue reaching out to vulnerable families and improve outcomes for children around the country.
