Impact Family Services
@impactfs.bsky.social
Impact Family Services is a North East charity that supports every member of the family to ultimately break the cycle of domestic abuse, relieving adults, children and young people from the lifelong impacts of harmful relationships.
Strategy can’t be built in a 2-hour trustee meeting.
We took our trustees & exec team out for a full away day to focus on 2026.
No distractions. Honest conversations. Proper scrutiny.
Strong governance = stronger services for families across #SouthTyneside.

Children don’t have to witness violence to be affected by domestic abuse.
Living in fear, tension, or control can impact:
🧠 Emotional wellbeing
📉 Behaviour & confidence
🎒 School & relationships
Their healing matters too 🤍

Domestic abuse isn’t always physical.
Abuse is about power and control — not anger.
If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
We’re here to listen.

Abuse is a choice — and responsibility always lies with the abuser. 🚫

We took a group of young people surfing with South Shields Surf School recently.
Freezing, choppy North Sea, tough wetsuits — but they smashed it.
Confidence, resilience, balance, teamwork and time in nature.
Thanks Tracey 👏

We spent a brilliant day at Stepney Bank Stables and Ouseburn Farm.
Time with horses, animals and nature builds confidence, trust and calm — giving young people space to slow down, connect and grow.

If you have a hidden phone, you’re not alone — and there’s nothing to feel guilty about 📱💙
Hidden phones are more common than people think. They’re not about doing something wrong — they’re about safety, connection, and keeping a lifeline open.

Kindness, creativity & a lot of glitter
Our young people created Christmas cards & artwork for people who showed them kindness this year-teachers, mentors & neighbours. Plans to deliver to a care home were paused due to flu, the intention still mattered. Hot chocolates to finish.
