Welcome to the Family Forge local and national projects

The Family Forge is a registered charity based in Skelmersdale on the edge of the Merseyside Region . Skelmersdale houses a share of the regions' allocation of asylum seekers and refugees. For this reason The Family Forge works locally with this group. This group forms the area's newest residents. Residents who face multiple barriers to prosperity and opportunity.

This group includes people from many nationalities, cultures and religions.It include families, married and single men and women.

Often asylum seekers have fled from genocide, war, persecution or other situations of forced migration.The Family Forge recognises the humanity of all individuals and seeks to assist every person that passes through the centre to travel 'From Fear to Confidence' in all ways. The Family Forge offers refugees and asylum seekers a place of welcome, friendship and support. But also the skills necessary to establish and flourish. Click here to join our mailing list.

Our ethos is informed by Christianity and we support integral human development. To this end our mission is also national. We desire to establish a national family centre and support Christian lay initiatives that protect life and encourage healthy rich life experiences. This is all done free of charge. Practical assistance is also provided for refugee families when needed.

Support our work- think about donating.Make a difference to someone and to wider British culture.

Additionally tutoring in Maths, English and modern foreign languages is available at the Life Skills Centre to any member of the local community to GCSE level.
