Contact a Family Family Support Service (Bristol)
This service is for families with disabled children in the Bristol Area.
Contact a Family's mission and purpose is to remove the barriers imposed by society which prevent families with disabled children achieving their full potential, and to empower these families to live the lives they want to lead.
We achieve this through providing parents and families of disabled children with high-quality advice and information, broad-ranging parenting support and contact with other families. We also work to influence the development of relevant public services and policy.
We provide information for families and professionals throughout the Bristol area. We also provide a national freephone helpline 0808 808 3555; run information workshops; and produce a suite of printed factsheets, guides and directories, online information and new media including email, social networking, and family linking for mutual support. We support families face-to-face in the Bristol area and we are at the centre of a network of national and local parent-led groups and forums.
