integrate

befriending

Integrate helps families build the skills and confidence they need to thrive. Many of the families we support are from migrant and low-income backgrounds, facing challenges such as poverty, language barriers, and social isolation.

What We Do

Through befriending sessions and hands-on learning, Integrate gives families the knowledge and skills to manage money, stay safe online, and feel confident navigating essential services. We combine digital literacy with financial guidance to build resilience and independence. Our approach is friendly, practical, and rooted in real-life needs, ensuring families feel supported rather than judged.

Our services include

Digital skills support such as online banking, shopping, using apps, and avoiding scams. Financial literacy sessions covering budgeting, understanding bills, and making informed spending decisions. Befriending sessions in a safe, culturally sensitive space to reduce isolation and build trust. Support for families to access essential services like benefits, healthcare, and education systems. Guidance to help families overcome language and cultural barriers in managing daily life.

The Impact

Integrate is more than a service, it is a lifeline for families at risk of being excluded in today’s digital society. Each year, over 100 people gain digital confidence, financial skills, and stronger social connections through our sessions. Families tell us they feel less isolated, more secure, and more in control of their lives. By combining practical tools with compassionate support, Integrate helps build safer, more connected, and more resilient communities. One participant shared, “Before joining Integrate, I was scared of online banking and always relied on others. Now I can do it myself, and I feel independent.” Another parent told us, “The sessions showed me how to budget properly. I can save money for my children and I don’t feel lost anymore.”
