Epsom Downs Family Centre

YMCA East Surrey Family Centres offer a wide range of activities and services for parents and carers of children aged 0-18 years (up to 25 years with additional needs and disabilities). As part of the Families First programme, we are here to support and guide parents and carers enabling them to belong, contribute and thrive.

We help families with all aspects of family life including one-to-one targeted support with parenting and relationship challenges to help parents and carers to grow in confidence to manage any future difficulties. YMCA Family Support Workers are experienced, friendly professionals who seek to support families to achieve their best outcomes.

YMCA Family Centres, in partnership with other local providers, offer a range of parenting programmes and group sessions. Our groups are a place for parents and carers to develop their own skills and connect with others. Our groups and classes range from one-off opportunities to regular weekly sessions, and you can choose which ones are best for you.
