Fundraising
Funding in the charity sector is at best uncertain. In addition to the funding we receive through government and other grants, many of which are short term and not guaranteed beyond a year or 2, fundraising from our dedicated supporters offers a vital life line to protect the service that we offer to the community.
Donate a prize
We run lots of raffles, tombolas and fundraising competitions throughout the year and are always looking for gift donations. If you have any unwanted gifts that you would like to donate, or if you can help us secure a prize for one of our events this would really help our team.
Challenge yourself!
Help us make a difference to the lives of vulnerable families by challenging yourself to run a marathon, climb the three peaks, skydive or bunjee jump for Family Support Link. If you are not that adventurous a simple coffee morning that brings people together or a car boot sale are great events to help support our services.
If you would like to get involved in any way or have any ideas as to how you can support us, please contact us today.
Thank you Family Support Link
I started getting support around 6 years ago. When I had the horrific experience of 2 family members with alcohol addiction. I got and I am still getting support from this lovely organisation. They are a great team helping me feel my self-worth and a very stronger person that I am now.
I was not alone
The 1:1 support enabled me to vent my feelings and helped me see the importance of looking after myself at the time of crisis. I think it prevented me from having a breakdown. The weekly group meetings let me know I was not alone in what I was going through.
Gain strength from my meetings
My support worker has been a rock, pointing out situations to me and showing me a clear vision of the directions which I may/may not take. The name Family Support couldn't be more precise, and I am grateful for each time I see her, knowing I must be strong with myself.
Grateful to have been referred to FSL
Just having someone to talk to who would listen and offer understanding and provide professional advice which was non-judgemental was a massive help as it helped me to see things a lot clearer. I am definitely in a much better place now than I was, to handle any difficulties that could arise in the future.
