Hello and thank you for visiting our website.

***** UPDATE ON SERVICES ******
Wednesday 1 April 2020

Our offices at 50 Coburg Street remain closed and our staff team is now working remotely from home. You can still get in touch with us by phone, calling the usual number, which is 0131 467 7052 and your call will be diverted to a mobile number and answered by a senior member of staff.

If you have a general enquiry, please direct this to us by email using hello@mcfb.org.uk

Referrals:

We are continuing to support families that have been referred to us prior to the closure of our offices, both those attending groups and those receiving one to one support. Our groups are continuing on a weekly basis, using Whatsapp or Zoom to connect to people on their phones, tablets or laptops. 

If you are new to us and we have not had contact with you before, please still feel free to call us. If we are not the right service for you at this time, we
will try our best  to redirect you to one that is. 

The following services will also be able to help you:

If you are in need of medical support, please call the NHS support line on 111

If you or someone you know is in need of urgent support, you can call Social Care Direct for advice. You may need help due to illness, frailty, disability or concerns about safety of an adult or child at risk of harm. The number is 0131 200 2324

Parentline Scotland: Phone  (free) 08000 28 22 33 

Please look after yourself and your loved ones. We are proud to be part of a large multicultural family which stretches across Edinburgh and you are not alone during these difficult times.

Look out for our newsletter, coming out this week - you can sign up for updates via the link on our home page. We're also working on a weekly bulletin with creative ideas for families.

Keep checking Facebook and Instagram for latest updates, as well as this page.

Thank you,

Everyone at MCFB
