About London Pregnancy & Family Support Centre

London Pregnancy & Family Support Centre is a faith-based, non-profit community organization located on Piccadilly Street in the PANA neighbourhood. Serving the London region for over 30 years, the centre provides a safe and welcoming environment for women, men, and families navigating the challenges of expected or unexpected pregnancies. The organization describes its mission as a holistic conviction to meet challenges through relational support, aiming to advocate, educate, and empower clients as they reconcile choices such as parenting, adoption, or post-abortion care. The centre offers a variety of free and confidential services, including pregnancy tests, options counselling, one-on-one support, and post-abortion care. Specific programs include STEP, a full-day Saturday prenatal class for expectant parents on limited incomes covering topics like baby development and breastfeeding; GRIP, a program for mothers providing physical, emotional, and social support; and Lifted Up, which assists grandparents raising their grandchildren with issues like financial stress and custody. Additionally, the centre provides referrals for medical care, adoptions, and professional counselling, as well as sexual realities presentations for schools and youth. All staff and volunteers at the centre receive specialized training to provide accurate information and individualized support. The organization welcomes individuals of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and creeds, emphasizing that every person has intrinsic value. While the centre relies on donations from individuals and corporations to run its programs, it also maintains a care closet for new mothers and babies. For those seeking assistance, the centre offers a crisis line and provides a space where clients can meet alone or with a trusted person.
