About Coram Family and Childcare

Our network of local Parent Champions schemes reaches thousands of parents each year, with dedicated local volunteers ensuring parents are aware of their rights and entitlements, improving children’s outcomes.
We deliver responsive, family-focussed projects, often in partnership with other expert organisations, reaching some of the most disadvantaged families and levelling the playing field for disadvantaged children. This includes Books Together, a programme working in local communities in London to support parents of young children to read together, through a series of informative and interactive sessions.
We deliver the National Association of Family Information Services (NAFIS) – the only national membership organisation supporting essential Family Information Service staff in local authorities to deliver high-quality information and advice to families.
We are the Learning Partner for Childcare Works, supporting the rollout of the expansion of funded childcare, on behalf of the Department for Education.
