Rowan House is a scheme that provides support and accommodation for homeless women and their children.

The project is ’children friendly’ and has a Child Support Worker and playroom facilities.  Regular play sessions are held where children can play, learn and generally have fun.

Sessions are held according to children’s age, ability and interests, but can also be issue or family based.

There are trips out and social activities involving residents and staff. Parent/child involvement is encouraged as much as possible. 

Activities involve playing games, arts and crafts, music, drama and creative play.  Children can choose what they do and parents are invited to join in with activities.

The Child Support Worker works to support parents with child related issues and also to maintain links with agencies such as schools, health visitors and other relevant organisations.

We aim to keep up good relationships with residents once they have moved on to new tenancies.
