Inspiring Family Solutions is a Family Support team based in Scunthorpe and supports and works in the Scunthorpe area. The project supports families with children aged 0 - 11 years and individuals by providing a combination of interventions delivered by family support workers and trained volunteers with the aim of improving parenting skills, preventing statutory intervention and achieving better outcomes for families. We deliver support to families and individuals where there are issues with poor parenting, physical and mental health, alcohol and substance misuse, learning and physical disabilities, domestic violence, family dysfunction and breakdown and other problems which without support have the potential to escalate to levels that put people at risk and would need a higher level of intervention including Social Services involvement. We aim to support individuals to increase their resilience as they are able to lead a stronger and positive personal life. We try to identify the issues, allowing us to make a plan to support them to overcome or manage the issues and develop new skills to help improve their overall personal development. We are deeply passionate about the families and family members we support in the local community and have high aspirations for their potential and the ability to achieve. We feel we could deliver a real transformational impact within one of North Lincolnshire’s most deprived communities. Some of our participants who attend have come from desperate places including suicide attempts and difficult backgrounds. In one of our sessions focusing on mental health, which we aim to promote a healthy lifestyle and their willingness to be part of our project. This helps the individuals to learn new cooking and cleaning skills, trying new foods and help improve social interactions. Our parents/carers and toddler session aim to support adults and children to develop parenting skills and age-related skills. Through engaging and EYFS led activities. This type session help to build bonds between adult and children. In addition to these sessions, we offer a small food bank, swap shop for clothing and small household items and other groups such as gardening and a breakfast club to support the need of the individuals to try and prove an all-around sense of care. We offer information and guidance on different issues and can signpost if needed.
