Drop-in Projects
The Ludford ‘Drop In’ project is a weekly service where single parent
families can access a range of free practical advice, information and
programmes designed to improve their personal development
opportunities, and restore their confidence and self worth following
the trauma and crisis of family breakdown.
Parents can enjoy child free space and relax over a cup of coffee with the support of the ‘Little Play’ creche, have a look around the Thrifty Shop of good quality clothes, get on those scales at ‘Weigh & Treat’ (yes, you really do get a treat if you’ve lost weight!), or take advantage of talking to some of our visiting professionals. These include the CAB and Wulvern Housing.
Alternatively there are always workshops available and these can provide parenting tips, healthy living, cooking on a low budget, assertiveness training, coping with teenagers and handling anger. At times the CAB provide sessions on managing debt and budgeting, and Cheshire East Council’s Family Learning Dept provide Basic First Aid skills.
For those struggling with the vast amount of confusion, anxiety, fear, stress, loss and grief that often accompanies separation, divorce and / or bereavement, an appointment can always be made with one of our trained Counsellors.
You’ll find the Ludford Drop In opens every Thursday morning between 10am & 1pm at the Ludford Family Centre in Crewe.
The Bungalow Drop In affers the same activities as Ludford although on a smaller scale. You'll find the Bungalow Drop In open every Tuesday morning between 10am and 12 noon in Sherbourne Road, off Middlewich Street.
All are welcome to either or both of our Drop In mornings.
