Save the Family provides caring residential support for vulnerable and homeless families. Our site situated on the outskirts of Chester consists of 26 self-contained family homes; the families we support live in a community environment, staffed 24 hours a day.

The families we work with often face an array of challenges, including family breakdown, domestic abuse, addiction, debt, and mental illnesses. Between April 2020-April 2022, 73% of our families struggled with their mental health. Over 62% had experienced domestic abuse. Over 50% of all adults housed with us during this period had experiences substance misuse issues and over 67% of families arrived with pre existing housing related debt which prevented them from entering the social housing register.

We provide a team of skilled Children and Family mentors to engage and support the whole family to work through various challenges that prevent families from living successfully independently. Our purpose is to keep families together where possible and reintegrate them back into a community when they feel equipped and included, ready to carve out a brighter and more sustainable future, with increased aspirations and opportunities.
