Important Service Update: Temporary Closure of Referrals
Over the last three months, Afrikindness has received over 40 family intervention referrals from parents, social services, and community organisations. This remarkable level of trust reflects how deeply families value our work — and we are truly grateful.
At Afrikindness, our priority is quality, dignity, and meaningful support for every family.
Our family intervention programme is a 4–6 month tailored journey for each household, centred on rebuilding relationships, strengthening parenting capacity, improving communication, and ensuring that every family receives the consistent, compassionate support they need.
To honour this commitment and ensure excellence in service delivery, we are temporarily closing new referrals for the remainder of the year. This pause will allow our team to focus fully on the families currently in our care and uphold the high standards that define our work.
We value:
Quality over quantity – each family deserves focused, uninterrupted support.
The voice of parents and children – every intervention begins with trust-building and understanding their truth.
Community partnership – we remain committed to working with professionals and community groups to ensure better outcomes for children.
We want every family to feel seen, supported, and empowered — and this temporary closure ensures we can continue to provide the level of service they deserve.
Referrals will reopen in the New Year.
Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in Afrikindness.
