Parenting Support
Parenting can be a joy, but it can also be a great challenge. At Choices, we are passionate about supporting parents. Find out more below.
Befriending
One-to-one befriending is for pregnant women and new mothers facing difficult circumstances, who would benefit from having someone to talk to each week.
We match mothers with a trained befriender who will offer emotional support and encouragement.
If you are interested in befriending or in having a befriender then please do fill in the form below or email info@choicescharity.org
Boutique
Many parents struggle to afford baby and children’s clothes and equipment.
The Choices Boutique can help.
We receive donations of pre-loved clothing and equipment for babies and children so that other families who need these items can collect them for free.
Every term, Choices facilitates an eight-session parenting course called Circle of Security Parenting ™. This course provides parents with a road map to understand children’s behaviour by looking at their emotional needs.
During the course, parents look at how they relate to their children with the aim of helping them to grow up to be secure individuals: people who will flourish at school, be confident in themselves and enjoy life-giving relationships right into their adult years.
We create a warm, informal and safe atmosphere to explore different topics together each week.
“I found it very useful having someone to talk to. It was so important to have my befriender’s support throughout pregnancy. I now feel free to be myself.’”
