The Family Welfare Association (FWA) aims to create a caring and secure society with supportive communities where families - living together or apart - can control their lives and futures.

FWA provides the following services.
- Services for people with mental health problems and their families and carers.
- Support services for children and their families.
- Well-family services in GP practices.
- Financial help for families.
- Educational grants advice.
