Families come in all shapes and sizes, and they value and celebrate the contribution that so many people make to raising happy and healthy children. Strong and committed investment in family life is the key way to deliver positive outcomes for children, and they act as the voice for parents in the wider community to achieve this.

It is supported by operational plans for all their services, and by area plans for each area office. The annual business plan sets out the charity's targets and priorities, and includes the annual budget.
