About us
Who we are
We are a community group providing practical support and early help to people of all ages to solve family problems before they become crises.
Family Comprehensive Services (FCS) is a community‑interest organisation delivering holistic, integrated support to children, young people, families, vulnerable adults, differently‑abled people, and elderly residents. Our services are informed by the Families First Partnership Programme model, ensuring that families receive timely, preventative support that addresses emerging needs before they escalate.
We operate as an early intervention and preventative service, bridging the gap between universal services (such as schools, GPs, community groups) and formal Early Help or statutory social care. By providing practical support, advocacy, wellbeing services, childcare, and crisis intervention, we help families stabilise challenges early, reducing the likelihood of escalation to social care involvement.
