There are many different types of families (e.g. birth, blended, fostered, adopted, extended etc.) and for some people their network of friends is ‘family’ to them (indeed people talk of the ‘scouting family’ or ‘church family’ or ‘military family’). We seek to serve families in the broadest possible sense… any group of people (whether genetically related or not) who self-identify as members of a group who share their lives together in some meaningful way. Similarly, there are many different people with parenting roles. We seek to serve parents in the broadest possible sense… any person within a family who self-identifies as providing some form of parental role for a child or young person.
