The Family Haven was established in 1988 to help disadvantaged and vulnerable families in Gloucestershire to a brighter future. We help parents and their pre-school children by providing a warm, caring and supportive day centre where assistance and encouragement is available to help them to improve the quality of their lives – it’s a literally a haven for families in Gloucester with small children who are facing difficult times.

The Family Haven thrives through the hard work and dedication of a great number of very different people. Experienced and skilled office staff, cook, caring nursery staff, dedicated volunteers and fund-raisers as well as the generosity of our funders for which we are always grateful.
