Who we are Our impact Our impact Here at St. Vincent's Family Project we aim to target the most vulnerable and excluded in society. Through measuring our impact on our service users we are able to deliver effective services. The three aspects of our charity provide a beneficial support system that is much needed in our community. Our Services At Family Space, we see isolated single parents, people with no family support, families struggling with poverty, mental health and living with the repercussions of domestic abuse or forced migration. Family Space provides support services, parenting programmes and creche support for children under 5. Through Creative Arts Therapy, we help schoolchildren aged 4-13 who are struggling with emotional difficulties, which are getting in the way of their homelife, schooling and friendships. On top of this, through Volunteer Space we are able to offer local residents and student volunteers greatly needed work experience and placements for their therapeutic and social work courses.
