Beth Lawrence, Carolyn Walker and Trish King work directly with families, helping them sort out their problems. Sometimes this involves a parent phoning up to ask for a phone number of a local counseling service or scout group. At other times this is more intense with a family seeking support with benefits or looking for help in times of great stress.

Our services are spread throughout North Derbyshire and can be accessed in Bolsover, Chesterfield, Derbyshire Dales, High Peak, Glossop and North East Derbyshire.
