Working together



Two -men -smiling -in -conversationIt's about bringing together health, education and social care. That's what makes sense for children, young people and families.


By co-locating services and streamlining processes, pooling our resources, knowledge and expertise. So we avoid duplication of effort, save invaluable time and deliver better outcomes.

Because children and young people need help now - not next year, not two years from now, not five years from now. But now. We'll work together - putting the child at the centre - to maximise resources and offer cost-effective solutions.

A whole family approach

Partnership working is also about engaging whole families, making sure everyone's opinions are heard and listened to. With a 'whole family' approach, we can ensure we're meeting everyone's needs - and that's what makes the lasting difference.

Whether it's outreach in their homes, a project worker who speaks their language, or access to support on evenings and weekends. We use all the resources available to do whatever's possible, to design and deliver the service in whatever way works best.

More through corporate support

Our corporate partners add value too. Like our Barclay's Financial Futures programme, providing advice and skills in money management - 57% of parents and young people stated that they had reduced their overall debt after going on the programme.

Relationships make the difference

We're only as effective as the relationships we build. Improving outcomes and achieving more equal life chances happens when we work in partnership, for a better future, for all children and young people, for as long as it takes.

Our expertise at providing services across a wide range of need. Our high quality staffing, bespoke approach, and the added value of voluntary income. All this means we can offer the breadth and depth of support, no matter the need.

What our voluntary income can do

Whether it's our Articulation programme to give young people a voice through performing arts. Or our ArtMatters initiative to get children exploring their creativity. We reinvest our surplus back into the organisation to give more opportunities to those we work with. So we're able to provide more beyond what funding may allow.

It's things like adding a sensory garden in one of our special schools. Or accessible play equipment for our children's centres. It's running additional support groups. And providing young people with a positive activity residential weekend.

Beyond service delivery

We go the extra mile. Your local needs inform our national policy calls. Children and young people's voices are heard through our campaigning work. And our external evaluations ensure our services are making a difference.
