About us

Who we are

Shepherds Bush Families Project & Children’s Centre (SBFP&CC) is an independent registered charity founded in February 1988. The project was set up to meet the needs of families who were in bed and breakfast hotels and other forms of temporary accommodation in the area. At SBFP&CC we are passionate about ensuring the best possible outcomes for families, children and young people and we aim to deliver the services they need to live safe, happy, healthy and successful lives. The project celebrates the multi-ethnic, multi-faith and multi-cultural make-up of our users who reflect the diverse community in our area. We believe the way we work, informally, helps support the families we work with and has been sited as one of the reasons we are successful in reaching the most vulnerable, socially disadvantaged and so called ‘hard to reach’ families. Aims of organisation: ~ The Project aims to relieve the poverty and distress of families suffering homelessness and other severe housing, social and economic hardship in Shepherds Bush and the Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham ~ To advance public education about all aspects of family homelessness; ~ To promote the emotional, physical, social and intellectual development of infants, children and young people in these households, and in the local area, by the provision of a range of high quality, stimulating educational and recreational daytime services and activities which will enable them to flourish both at home and at school or college ~ To provide opportunities for support, training and education aimed at supporting and enhancing the capacity, confidence and skills of parents/carers and parents-to-be with the aim of facilitating their knowledge and ability to identify and meet their children’s needs, their own needs and to participate more fully in society knowledge and ability to identify and meet their children’s needs, their own needs and to participate more fully in society The services we offer allow us to support families and improve their lives and we aim to: ~ Preserve or restore people’s dignity, self-worth and sense of control in their lives. ~ Assist parents/carers to gain the skills and confidence to move on with their lives. ~ Ensure that all parents/ carers get the emotional support they need to do this. ~ Offer services for children and young people that ensure they reach their full potential, emotionally, socially and academically. ~ Give parents and carers the emotional and educational resources to get themselves out of the poverty trap caused by overpriced private rented accommodation and poorly paid work
