What is Brighter Futures?
Brighter Futures (charity number 320) is a targeted support service.
We support children, young people and families with parenting and life challenges. We generally work with the main carer. The aim is to enable child development and parent/carer/child wellbeing.
We offer a range of personal development, educational and second chance learning programmes. These are delivered through group sessions and individual support.
Our vision is to build a brighter future for the whole family.
Support during the coronavirus pandemic
We are supporting clients via video, phone calls, texts and if necessary door step visits.
We are also providing basic essentials where necessary, signposting as appropriate (and relevant) to other services.
Our values
Support - we support clients to recognise and value their role as their child's first and most important educator
Empower - we work with clients to empower them to take ownership of their personal and educational development
Encourage - we encourage all clients to achieve wellbeing and healthy relationships
Our approach
Our approach works with our client's strengths, is co-produced and focuses on solutions.
We work with our clients acknowledging that they have strengths, skills, resilience and the ability to make informed choices and improve their wellbeing.
Clients
develop their strengths, resilience and support networks based on the
assumption that they come for help already in possession of various
competencies and resources that may be used to improve their
situation.
How we support our clients
Every client is allocated a key worker who supports them to
co-produce their journey to wellbeing.
We offer a range of programmes which address three key
areas of family life:
relationships within the family
self-awareness and self-management
wellbeing and mental health self-esteem and confidence
There are 3 main strands to our work:
