Willow Reach Residential Family Assessment Centre is based in Southend on Sea.
Willow Reach is City Family CIC's residential family centre in Southend on Sea, a centre where parents and their children live together while we get to know them and support them through what can be one of the hardest periods a family faces. Families have their own room, share the rest of the house, and are supported after by a team who are there day and night, so parenting can be seen and supported in ordinary, everyday moments rather than in short observed visits.
Families come to us through their local authority or as part of family court proceedings, alongside their young child or baby.
Each family has a key worker from Willow Reach and, where possible, a key worker from their local area, working together, and wider family members are brought in rather than left out.
Support does not stop when a family moves on. As a community interest company, everything we generate goes back into the families we work with, and we were able to open Willow Reach with the support of the Segelman Trust, the Postcode Innovation Trust and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
Willow Reach will soon have its own Website, which will be linked here in the coming months

As part of the Women in the Workplace project, funded by DHSC and run by Pregnant Then Screwed and Best Beginnings, we are excited to share that we have received an Accreditation for the Empowered Foundations training with a focus on women's reproductive health in the workplace. As part of the training, our managers accessed modules based on the topics of pregnancy loss, fertility, flexible working and eliminating bias to better understand the use of language, ways to support members of staff and increase knowledge base around these specific topics. Here at City Family we are striving to improve the support available for the women in our workplace
