What we do
We work on a diverse range of projects. Some are projects we create or take on and deliver, others are partner projects to which we contribute, offering consultancy, advice and project management/support.
We are mindful that to support children and young people we need to also consider those around them. Therefore, although some of our projects involve direct work with children and young people, others are focused on supporting their families, carers or peers. We also run projects aimed at the children and young people’s workforce, that is those who work or volunteer with children, young people or families, or are responsible for improving their outcomes as all or part of their job.
