Help with family life

Welcome to our family support resource!

We know families face challenges families may face, so we are here to help.

Apply for Free School Meals to make sure your child gets healthy meals during the school day and check out Healthy Start vouchers for extra support with eating well.

If you need help finding housing, P3 offers one-to-one assistance to find the right solution for you.

Find child and family services at Child and Family Centres, where you will discover a range of resources tailored to your needs.

For clothing support, Grow Kids Cambridge helps children up to age 6, and monthly clothes swaps in St Ives, St Neots, and Ramsey offer a sustainable way to get clothes. Take advantage of childcare offers through the Holiday Activities and Food programme and learn about Disability Living Allowance for supporting children with disabilities.

No matter what your family needs, we are here to provide support you every step of the way.
