The Mercers' Company, which also focuses on the management of property and charitable trusts, has stepped in to save Coram Family Parents' Centre with a 600,000 award over the next three years.

The centre was set up in 1997 to provide community-based training in parenting and other skills for families in the King's Cross area of London, many of them socially isolated and unfamiliar with mainstream services. It also provides high-quality childcare so parents can participate in training and seek work.
