About
Downton 4 Family was set up in 2018 to support families when they are having a difficult time.
We are based in Downton where our service extends to the surrounding villages. We work with families where there is a child under 18 living at home.
Families might be worried about relationships, finances, health or just coping with everyday family life. Our mentors will work with and support each family for 6 to 12 months.
