Make a Difference to Families Every Day

FAASS is a unique residential family centre providing 12\-week placements for parents and their babies, where parenting support needs have been identified by Social Services.

Our role is to support vulnerable families during an important period in their lives.

At FAASS, we believe every family deserves the opportunity to thrive with the right support.

Throughout each placement, our dedicated team works closely with parents, offering practical guidance, parenting support, and basic training to help them develop the skills needed to provide a safe, nurturing environment for their baby.
