Southwark Diocesan Welcare

Southwark Diocesan Welcare (Welcare) is the family support charity for the Diocese of Southwark, grounded in compassion, understanding, and hope. Founded in 1894, we support children and their families across South London and East Surrey to overcome challenges, strengthen relationships, and build resilience. Through our professional service delivery, we provide evidence-informed support tailored to each family’s needs, working collaboratively with partners to ensure high-quality outcomes and lasting impact for the communities we serve. Each year we work with more than 800 families, offering practical help, one‑to‑one support, and groupwork programmes. We support families facing multiple disadvantages, particularly domestic abuse, as well as family breakdown, mental health difficulties, low income, and social isolation.
