Since 1957, Frimhurst Family House has been a haven for families living in persistent poverty. It is owned and run by ATD Fourth World UK, a registered charity tackling inequality and promoting social justice. At Frimhurst we know the devastating impact living in persistent poverty has on family life. We promote the well-being of the whole family by providing a safe environment to build confidence, make new friends, learn new skills and create happy memories. Frimhurst gives adults, children and young people living below the poverty line the chance to enjoy family holidays, take part in social events, explore their creativity and get involved through a variety of volunteering opportunities. Set in nine acres of wooded parkland beside the Basingstoke Canal in Surrey, Frimhurst is a Victorian manor house with wheelchair access and superb facilities including a computer room, library, games room, art studio, nursery, community garden, professional kitchen, outdoor playgrounds and four self-contained flats. Frimhurst is supported by volunteers who help us to run our activities and with office administration, fundraising, house and grounds maintenance and in our community garden.
