The purpose of Save the Family is to create positive and sustainable futures for families that have experienced various problems resulting in homelessness. They aim to end the cycle of problems woven together by circumstance and lack of opportunity. The project will offer their residents a day out in August at the beach with their children and the opportunity to create some happy memories in the midst of very difficult times. The grant will provide transport, a picnic lunch and activities throughout the whole day. This will ensure that this is a worry free day so parents and children are able to experience the normality of a joyful stress free day with their family. This will create some enduring memories they can think back to and speak about with their peers.

Save the Family is a local charity based in Chester that supports homeless families with complex needs. The project will provide the IT equipment to enable our families to improve their connections with the outside world whilst isolated during Covid-19. This funding is to purchase 6 desktop PCs and associated software/hardware that will be used in existing spaces, adapted for the purpose of a resident IT hub. The lock down and the closure of schools has brought the digital divide to the forefront of our families who do not have their own internet access or usable computer devices and are being left behind but this project will ensure that our families, who are struggling with increased social isolation, will be able to engage with the outside world thereby increasing their well-being and sense of belonging.
