Family Action carried out a successful rebrand last year, having changed its name from Family Welfare Association.
As well as looking to the future, 2009 is also a year for celebrating past achievements. Established in 1869, the charity marks 140 years of supporting vulnerable families this October. Over the years, its work has grown to encompass a wide range of frontline family support services, as well as providing cash grants and educational grants advice, and developing policy and campaigning initiatives.
In June, Family Action won the Effectiveness Award at the 2009 Charity Awards in recognition of its successful absorption of Family Service Units in 2006. Family Action has just won its first county-wide tender for family support in Lincolnshire and is determined to build on the innovation and effectiveness that has marked the charity's work over the past 140 years.
