Family support and advocacy

Confidential help with the practical and personal things that weigh on family life — and someone to listen whenever you need one.

What we can help with

We work with women and families across North Lanarkshire, whatever your background, language or faith. You do not need a referral, and there is nothing to sign.

How we help

  • A listening ear and a friendly face, in confidence, whenever you need one
  • Help with benefits claims, council tax, housing and debt paperwork
  • Advocacy and interpreting support when you meet agencies, schools or doctors
  • Counselling, advocacy and bereavement support, by appointment
  • Referrals to specialist services, including domestic abuse support
  • Food parcels and practical help for families going without

  • Airdrie & Coatbridge Foodbank and the Lanarkshire Food and Health Partnership
