Yes, I’m a Grandma again! Two year old Samuel now has a new baby brother, Nathaniel. What a gift, to be able to enjoy these two little boys. Just a shame they live in Glasgow but short plane flights make them accessible.

To celebrate Volunteers Week, running 1 – 7 June, a Special Thank You Evening was organised for NI volunteers.

Care for the Family wants to enable parents to feel more confident, skilled and better equipped to help their children make good lifestyle choices when it comes to alcohol and drugs.  How to Drug Proof Your Kids offers parents a realistic plan to steer their children away from the harmful use of drugs and alcohol.

We are very excited to announce the return of Take a Break – Care for the Family’s activity week for single parent families – to Northern Ireland.

These activity weeks offer single parents a much-needed break, the opportunity to have fun with their kids, and plenty of encouragement, all in a secure environment.

Several new presenters of How to Drug Proof Your Kids® (DPYK) have recently been trained in Northern Ireland. Ivor Forrest, Care for the Family’s trainer, described the recent sessions as ‘some of the best yet’.
