Family Community Wellbeing Support Service (FCWS)

Flexible, holistic support to families in the community within the context of the York Early Help Local Area Teams (LATs). It works with families whose children are aged 0-19 years old or 0-25 years old where the child has a disability. Any family struggling with housing-related issues whose circumstances are having a negative impact on their children’s potential to thrive is eligible for support from the service. A ‘whole family’ approach with interventions to support the family is adopted, which could include addressing debt and budgeting issues, access to benefits, accessing training, education, employment, help with social isolation or accessing health support. Where required, the service facilitates engagement with the most appropriate member of the LAT and/or specialist provider to resolve them.
