Advice Services - Family & Relationships

Family life isn’t always easy — sometimes challenges can build up before you know it. The Dragonfly Project, in Portsmouth, is here to help. We support families with children aged pre-birth to 11 years to resolve challenges before they become bigger problems.


Guided by your choices, we will work with you to create a practical plan to move forward.


Our trained facilitator will help you:

- Identify the challenges your family is facing

- Connect with people around you who can help

- Ensure your and your children's voices are heard

- Create a practical plan for moving forward


The Dragonfly Project is a welcoming and supportive space where your family can come together to share ideas and find solutions without fear of judgment. As trained facilitators and not decision-makers, we're here to help you feel confident about your next steps.

The Dragonfly Project is funded to provide free services to families, thanks to The Rayne Foundation, The National Lottery Community Fund, Southern Coop, Tesco and more. If you would like to support, consider donating, fundraising or volunteering. Thank you.
