Families Together Suffolk is a local charity providing free, non-judgemental support, home visiting, and community groups for expectant parents and families with children under 12 across Suffolk. Based in Stowmarket, the charity helps parents build confidence, access local peer networks, and support their children’s early development.
Whether you are looking for free stay and play groups for 0 to 5s, 1-to-1 home visiting support, or specialist groups, Families Together Suffolk offers welcoming spaces where parents can connect and feel supported. Their Learn and Grow family support groups give parents and children aged 0–5 a chance to discover imaginative play ideas using everyday materials. For mothers and mothers-to-be, the Bump, Birth & Beyond groups run in partnership with the Suffolk Perinatal Mental Health team to offer professional and peer mental health support during pregnancy and baby’s first year. Families navigating special educational needs can join SEND Families Unite, a dedicated SEND group for parents of children with diagnosed or undiagnosed disabilities, or access home support from SEND coordinators.
Having supported local parents for over 40 years, all services are completely free. Families can self-refer or be referred by a professional to access home visiting, emotional guidance, and local parent groups. Visit the website to self-refer, view group timetables, or contact the team on 01379 678552 to find family support near you.
