***NEWS*** For more than 25 years The Rendezvous has supported hundreds of young parents and their children through its Young Parents’ group.  We’ve helped improve living circumstances by resolving housing problems, taught budgeting and money management, advocated on their behalf with professionals; and even assisted in cases of domestic violence, working alongside police and social workers to help keep parents and children safe.

However, the needs of young parents are changing, as are the demands on our services, and we need to adapt accordingly. It’s hard to say goodbye to a format that has worked so well but we know it is the right decision to look afresh at the provision we make. Funding for our Young Parents’ group has become increasingly difficult to secure, our staff lead is moving on, and there is now so much more practical advice and information available online for young parents to access at a time to suit them.

This means our Young Parents’ groups will come to an end in August 2025 but our support for all young people very much continues and that includes those with children. So, if you need help with housing and benefits please get in touch with us at the centre on 01935 814486 or wellbeing@therendezvous.org.uk.
