We recognise that being a parent can be hard work, especially with young children and that many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. It can be even harder when faced with issues such as post-natal depression, a child’s illness or disability, isolation, or multiple births. The families we help come from a wide variety of backgrounds and are looking for support for many different reasons.

CHESS relies on the support of volunteers who play a vital role in the running of the charity. In 2019, 82 volunteers gave on average 75.6 hours each to the charity. Without this valued support over the past 26 years, we could not have impacted the local community in the way that we have.
