Argos Fraserburgh

We support families who need a little extra help with many things, from isolation, mental health issues, disabilities, multiple births, single parents, financial crisis, and so on. Our support is offered to families in the Aberdeenshire area, who have children under the age of 5 years old, because we believe early intervention is key and childhood cannot wait. We have a team of trained volunteers who are matched with a family and they go in for a couple of hours a week to provide emotional and practical support to these families. We cover a large area in Aberdeenshire from Portsoy along the cost covering Banff, Macduff, Fraserburgh, Peterhead, to Hatton and inland to cover Auchnagatt, to Cornhill and all the rural villages in-between. We also offer 5 weekly support group for families to attend. These offer families a chance to meet up and provide them with a safe and non-judgement space to talk, the children are able to mix and build positive relationships and friendships. Hot and cold food is provided for free for families during these sessions. All our families are offered food support and can take from the food bank when they need. Volunteers can offer cooking support on a budget within the family home or within a group session. We also offer emergency food parcels which can be collected or delivered to the families homes. All our food donations we receive are given out to families for free. We ensure all families are provided with free food hampers at Christmas time too to cover an expensive time of the year.
