Shepherds Bush Families Project & Children’s Centre (SBFP&CC), has been at the heart of the local community of Shepherds Bush since 1988. Our charity based in Shepherds Bush, near to Shepherds Bush Green aims to: Help families who are homeless or experiencing severe housing difficulties and social and economic hardship in Shepherds Bush and the Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.
Through our work we aim to relieve the effects of poverty and distress caused by homelessness or housing difficulties and offer hope to children and their families. We celebrate the multi-ethnic, multi-faith and multi-cultural make-up of our families who reflect the community in our area.
