Keeping Families Together

Keeping Families Together (Wandsworth Youth for Christ Charity) is based in Wandsworth London, which provides support to families that are struggling with day to day issues and basics. We also provide a safe environment for young people to detach themselves from gang culture and to support them in staying in education. We offer support for parents including training, workshops and administration to alleviate loneliness and help families under Wandsworth social services.
Keeping Families Together is run by volunteers that would like to give back to the community. Keeping Families Together was founded by Deepika Makwana (Dee), a single parent who has herself experiences with bringing up her own children.
