Alternatives Trust East London

Alternatives Trust East London is a small charity that empowers vulnerable families in the London Borough of Newham to transform their lives. A small dedicated team gives long-term, intensive support to over 100 women and their children each year through the We Are Family (WAF) programme. This is centred on a weekly therapeutic group which offers early intervention through parenting and life skills to 25-30 families each week.

Alternatives offers advocacy to address the causes of poverty, practical help like food and baby equipment, one-to-one parenting support and counselling. Social enterprises run by mums increase employability and help women move on. We believe anyone can be a good parent given the right support, and we aim to provide that support.

Alternatives also delivers relationships and sex education to young people in schools and youth settings, provides pregnancy choices support, and support following baby loss.
