The Family Information Directory
|
The Family Information Directory is a searchable directory of over 1,300 services for families in York. It contains information on support groups, places to go, things to do, disability, parenting, sport and more. Basically if it is a service for children, young people or families it should be in the directory. If you run a group you can fill in our online form to get added to the directory. |
Support for families you are working with
If you are working with a family and want to know what services may be available to them you can check the directory online or contact York Family Information Service to see what may be available.
Helping you understand your area
Many different pieces of work need to start at the point of understanding a local area. A key question may be about what services are available. The Family Information Directory can be a great resource to help build a picture of what is available. Examples of how the directory has been used before are:
- Produced maps of local services to go into schools
- Supported the Neighbourhood Management Unit with the Area Based Working pilot
- Helped inform a project looking at the availability of services for children and young people
