1) Parent – child relationships, helping our clients recognise and value their role as their child’s first and most important educator; 2) Second chance learning programmes, providing the skills our clients may need in order to progress and succeed in education, work and life; 3) Well being and positive mental health programmes, which support social and emotional wellbeing, increase resilience to cope with difficulties and challenges to give our clients hope for a brighter future.

Since 2008, we have supported over 2,200 families, benefiting over 8,800 Islanders. We rely heavily on the generosity of our Island to generate over 90% of our income.
