Happy Volunteers Week!
On Day One, we want to give a MASSIVE thank you to two of our long-standing volunteers! These legends join us at Save the Family every week, supporting families in the workshop and teaching them valuable skills, among many other things they lend a hand with around our site. The work we do wouldnβt be possible without volunteers like these – thank you for everything you do!

We have lots of volunteers with us on site this week, so what better way to celebrate Volunteers Week than by getting the bunting out! We always strive to make sure our volunteers know how much their time and effort mean to us, and hopefully this week, theyβll have an extra smile on their faces. Thank you to all our amazing volunteers for everything you do!

Celebrating Pride Month with Love and Support
At Save the Family, we stand proudly with the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and loving environment, regardless of their identity. 
Did you know that LGBTQ+ individuals are disproportionately affected by homelessness? In the UK, it’s estimated that up to 24% of young homeless people identify as LGBTQ+. Many face rejection from their families and communities, making the work of many LGBTQ+ and homeless charities more crucial than ever. 
This Pride Month, we celebrate love, diversity, and acceptance. Let’s work together to ensure every family, regardless of their background, has a place to call home.
Join us in supporting families by volunteering or donating today. Your help makes a world of difference!
