Working in line with The Guild’s 3-year strategy, ‘Let’s Build a House’, we will develop CrossReach community-based services, laying a stronger foundation for families and their future. These services are our Daisy Chain in Glasgow and our Perinatal and Creche services in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
A child’s early years can have an impact that lasts a lifetime. The Guild’s support will ensure infants have the best possible start in life by developing strong, positive relationship between parents and children. With the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis, parents are presenting to us with more trauma and distress than at any other time. Demand, and the need for your help, is greater than ever.
Daisy Chain
Daisy Chain is a community based, inclusive, early intervention project for children under 12, and their families.
With support from the Guild, the team will work to improve children’s health and wellbeing through play and nurture. The Guild will help strengthen family relationships and support families to become more resilient. Children with disabilities, from deprived backgrounds and facing home challenges can thrive here.
Perinatal support with Creche
Research shows that parents who attend to their own emotional and psychological needs are in a better position to respond to their infants’ cues and engage with them in positive ways. The Guild will support specialist perinatal therapy with creche support in Glasgow and Edinburgh. The teams deliver Parent and Infant Relationship therapy and can access their counselling sessions while leaving their baby in trusted hands.
Together we aim to provide:
• Improved quality of life.
• Improved relationships with others.
• Improved psychological health.
• Stronger parent/child attachment
• Improved confidence and well-being
• Improved social inclusion
• Early intervention to support families at the start of life and beyond.
The friendly CrossReach team is here to support you every step of the way.
We can help plan your fundraising activity, give support and advice, send useful materials and arrange a talk about our work. Simply use the details below, whichever is best for you and we will be in touch.
We are incredibly grateful to work with the Guild to support children and families at their most vulnerable time, giving them the best opportunity to build a future, while enhancing, changing and saving lives.
