Our Family Support Service offers support to children, young people and their families.  We provide a single space to go to for support and information for a variety of services.  Our priority is to provide a responsible and accessible service.
Our goal at Youth Matters is to provide support for our community's most vulnerable families by providing early intervention, offering support through pregnancy, post-natal and progressing that support to families of children with additional needs, offering peer support and social activities for their children who don't feel comfortable in mainstream youth activities.
