About Family Resource Centre UK
Supporting families, changing lives, building futures
Family Resource Centre UK is a respected, trusted and established charity working for local authorities in the provision of outsourced services for over twenty years. We are leaders in the delivery of the Family Information Services and are proud of the quality and value for money services that we provide.
Since 1990, we have worked with Local Authorities, businesses and other voluntary sector organisations to provide a variety of services. We have developed a very strong skill set and have proved ourselves to be both efficient and flexible. We are “user led” and as such we develop services to meet the needs of our clients and the children, young people and the families they serve.
Using case studies, direct feedback, monthly reviewing and detailed data amongst other tools, we have developed strong monitoring and evaluation processes to ensure our service provision is outcomes focused, impact driven and well evidenced.
The services we provide include Family Information Service, Special Needs/LDD services, data collection, research, training, counselling, information sharing, multimedia development as well as the production of bespoke publications and tailored projects.
Family Resource Centre UK provides the Family Information Service (FIS) on behalf of Reading and West Berkshire Councils. The FIS is a free information service for families with children aged from birth – 19 years old (up to 25 years old for children with Special Needs/ Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (LDD)) operating in Reading and West Berkshire.
