Empower a parent. Create lasting change.

Join us to strengthen families and create change for children in need.

We partner with local organisations and churches, along with their community networks to run our highly effective, evidence-informed and accessible parenting programmes in communities and in prisons.

The programme equips mums, dads and carers with the tools (confidence, competence and community) they need to build strong relationships and strong families, and reduce the impact of poverty on their children.

“I used to just get cross but then that would make my child more cross. Now I am calmer with him, and he responds better to me and calms down quicker because I am calm.”
Keeley, mum

“The programme is really helpful and reminds me to be gentle and to be more respectful so our kids can give respect. I really like the book and everything. It’s really good.”

Hogai, mum
