The Ely Diocesan Committee for Family and Social Welfare is a registered charity under the Diocese of Ely. It provides an independent social work service to anyone in the diocese.
Our small team of part-time social workers and counsellors offers free, confidential expertise and support. As an independent agency, we value our flexibility and are able to respond to many different needs.
We supplement the work of the statutory health and social services – perhaps by focussing on one member of a family with multiple problems or by making a specific contribution, for instance, the resettlement of a vulnerable person. For others with chronic illness or disability we can be there for them on a longer-term basis.
Anyone can telephone or write with a request for help. We are able to provide long or short term help. Referrals are considered once a month.
