About Welcare (southwark diocesan)
Welcare (Southwark Diocesan): A Charity Dedicated to Supporting Families and Children
Welcare is a charity that has been working tirelessly to support families and children in South London and East Surrey for over 125 years. The organization was founded in 1894 by the Bishop of Rochester, Edward Stuart Talbot, who recognized the need for a dedicated charity that could provide support to vulnerable families and children in his diocese.
Since then, Welcare has grown into one of the most respected charities in the region, providing vital services to thousands of families every year. The organization's mission is simple: to help families overcome their challenges and build brighter futures for themselves and their children.
At Welcare, we believe that every child deserves a safe, stable home environment where they can thrive. Unfortunately, many families face significant challenges that can make it difficult for them to provide this kind of environment on their own. That's where we come in.
Our team of experienced professionals works closely with families to identify their needs and develop personalized plans that address those needs directly. We offer a wide range of services designed to help families overcome financial hardship, emotional distress, relationship breakdowns, parenting difficulties, mental health issues and more.
One of our core services is family support work. Our trained family support workers work with parents one-on-one or as part of group sessions aimed at improving parenting skills or addressing specific issues such as domestic violence or substance abuse. We also offer practical assistance such as food vouchers or clothing donations when needed.
Another key service we offer is therapeutic play sessions for children aged up to 13 years old who have experienced trauma or other adverse experiences such as bereavement or parental separation/divorce. These sessions are designed specifically around each child's individual needs so they can feel safe while exploring difficult emotions through play therapy techniques.
We also run several community-based projects aimed at supporting vulnerable groups within our local communities including young carers, refugees and asylum seekers, and families affected by poverty. Our projects are designed to provide practical support such as food banks or clothing donations as well as emotional support through group sessions or one-on-one counseling.
At Welcare, we believe that every family deserves the chance to build a brighter future for themselves and their children. That's why we work tirelessly to provide the support they need to overcome their challenges and thrive.
