Family Services

Information about our Family First service and who to contact if you need help with family matters.

Family First is a free, confidential advice and information resource in East Renfrewshire.

Aim

Our aim is to provide support by working in partnership with families.

We can help and enable you to access local services professional and voluntary, ensuring the children get the best possible start in life. 

We understand that families can run into difficulties, emotionally, financially or even physically that may prevent us doing the simplest of things. 

Whatever you'd like to speak about, our team can offer support and advice on issues surrounding school, health, home, money, parenting, additional support needs (with our without diagnosis) and confidence building.
