Bedford-based charity FACES (Family And Children’s Early-Help Services) celebrated its 10th anniversary on Saturday, April 29, 2023, with a black-tie ball and the unveiling of a new logo.
The new logo heralds the next era for FACES, which assisted more families than ever during the pandemic and continues to see enormous demand for its services during the cost of living crisis.
FACES was established in 2013, to support local families under stress so that they can provide a safer, happier and healthier home in which children can thrive and reach their full potential.
It does this through a range of quality-tested services, including one-to-one home visiting and support groups, often led by the team of dedicated volunteers.
Families may be facing mental or physical health problems, domestic abuse, poverty, child exploitation or behavioural issues.
