About Us 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 Drop In sessions, support services, parenting programmes and crèche support for children under 5. Through Creative Arts Therapy, we help school children aged 4-13 who are struggling with emotional difficulties, which are getting in the way of their home life, 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. Family Space Outcomes: An evaluation was carried out to measure our impact on the development of the resilience of families. These were against 4 key outcome headings: Reduce social isolation; improve mental health and well-being; improve parent and children’s confidence and reduce family conflict. Of these: 90% of families strongly agreed SVFP helped them towards reducing social isolation 86% of families strongly agreed SVFP helped them improve their mental health or well-being 94% of families agreed or strongly agreed that SVFP helped them towards improving their confidence 89% of families said the support had helped reduce family conflicts.
