Faith in Families

Faith in Families is transforming lives across Swansea Bay through our Community Cwtches & Multibank. We provide vital support to children and families facing challenges such as poverty, crisis, and trauma. Our wide range of services includes parent and toddler groups, 1-2-1 child therapy, parental & child support, outreach work & home support.

Established in 1999, Faith in Families has grown to encompass three community cwtches in the Swansea area. Each setting based in deprived areas of Swansea, aiming to provide help and support to families within the community. We also run Wales’ first multibank.
