Waverley Family Centre

What we do

Family centres help families with all aspects of family life. Your local family centre will support you with parenting and relationship challenges and will help you to grow in confidence so you can manage any future difficulties. The aim of the family centre is to help families build their own resilience and support network.

Our Family Support Team work across the whole Waverley Borough, providing support to families with children aged 0-11 years old.

Our team is here to support and guide you to get the best out of family life. We want to work in partnership with you to help each member of your family to reach their full potential.

We offer a variety of courses providing support with all aspects of family life as well as sessions for families with children with special educational needs and disabilities.
