Services & Programs
The South Cariboo Elizabeth Fry Society (SCEFS) in Ashcroft, British Columbia is a not-for-profit agency providing supportive services and programs to women and their families in several First Nations Bands and five small communities throughout Southern Interior BC.
The Elizabeth Fry Society’s catchment area – including Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Clinton, Spences Bridge, and Walhachin – is largely rural, and covers 22,500 square kilometres. Our focus on support, education and empowerment is very important, as it allows SCEFS to reach those in need who may be living in remote, isolated surroundings.
SCEFS offers ongoing support programs as well as periodic groups and gatherings. You can contact our office in Ashcroft if you believe you and/or your family may benefit from any of the following services:
