Established in 2001, Family Matters York is a small charity working to strengthen family relationships. Benefiting families in York and the surrounding area, it offers support to couples and parents via a range of courses, events and mentoring, all free of charge!
Families come to the charity for support with a variety of needs and circumstances, such as parents struggling to manage their child’s challenging behaviour, or those having difficulty communicating or bonding with their teenagers. Couples approach Family Matters York when they’re finding it hard to talk without arguing, or feeling disconnected. The charity works to show people that they’re not alone in facing the challenges of family life, and empowers them with the information and skills needed to nurture their relationships. It makes a real difference by helping families to boost confidence whilst building skills related to effective communication, conflict resolution and displaying affection.
Family Matters York relies on grants and donations, and has recently been awarded a grant from the National Lottery Awards for All. Thank you to Lottery players for helping to sustain this valuable charity’s important work!
As one of the Lord Mayor and Sheriff of York’s chosen charities for 2025-26, there will be plenty of opportunities to support their cause at civic fundraising events in the coming months… watch this space!
