FamilyMatters is a unique and independent, non-profit making organisation dedicated to providing a service to individuals and families who want safe and professional support for their relationship difficulties.

We offer a friendly, speedy and local response to families who may self-refer or be referred by a health or social care agency.

FamilyMatters helps families to find solutions before their relationships become overstrained and break down.

The service opened in April 2001 and now over 100 referrals are received annually.

Please explore this web site to learn more about how this valued service helps people already, and our plans for the future.

The effectiveness of early interventions is supported by research and contrasts with the expensive, longterm and often ineffective work that entrenched problems demand. It is essential that this excellent work not only continues but expands.

I see family relationships improve with new skills and confidence to take positive steps forward. It's a great service!
