CFEF provides practical and emotional support to children and families each year through our diverse range of services across London. Our Services includes : Afterschool and holiday club, Parenting program, Outreach, advocacy, advice and support to asylum seekers and other undocumented migrants, who would otherwise be unable to access such representation due to their limited financial resources.
