Developing and providing training materials. and Providing ongoing support to parents and carers thus, equipping parents and carers to provide an environment in which children can flourish, reducing negative parenting patterns, and improving the wellbeing of families and the welfare of children. Everything we do is focused on the country’s most vulnerable children. We engage local churches to use our relational, evidence-informed programmes for families of all faiths and none in their communities. Skilled peer facilitators from these churches make long-term commitments to support families in communities across our country. By partnering with the voluntary sector, we are well-placed to provide affordable, accessible and highly effective interventions for children and families facing disadvantages.
