The Kings Hedges Family Support Project

The Kings Hedges Family Support Project runs drop-in sessions for local families with children up to 5 years old in Cambridge. Sometimes we all just need a friendly face and at Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays Together you’ll definitely find that!

You’ll also find creative activities for you and your child to enjoy, lots of other parents to talk to and share experiences, along with an opportunity to talk to Family Support Workers in a safe and comfortable space.

We primarily work with families who live in the Abbey, East Chesterton, Kings Hedges and Arbury areas of Cambridge. For further details of where we hold our sessions see below.

We work alongside many other organisations in the local community and often invite them in to groups, making community resources much more accessible to families that attend.

As a registered Charity we run on a combination of donations, grants and sponsorship. If you would like to donate directly to us then you can do so here. The Paypal Giving Fund allows charities to collect donations through PayPal and 100% of all donations come directly to us.

What our families say...

“This group is a great opportunity to find friends and it really helped me to integrate here in Cambridge. It is great to have a place where you can meet other families in the same situation, to share happy moments as well as talking about worries, development, the future – everything!”

What our families say...

“I suffer with quite bad anxiety and having somewhere friendly and relaxed to take my son to is so important. My son has gained in confidence. This group and it’s staff are absolutely brilliant.”

What our families say...

“We’ve been coming to Thursdays Together now for six years – now with my third son. It gets better every year – many activities, committed and friendly staff, and the shared meal-times are a real aid to socialising my pre-school boy. Keep up the good work!”
