ABOUT US

We aim to do everything we can to help children have the best possible start in life.

Children should be able to develop their personalities, talents and abilities regardless of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, disabilities or gender.

Every child and their parents or carers need understanding and support, and through our carefully planned groups and services, following the new Early Years Framework, we aim to offer these things.​

We are a long-established, grass-roots organisation working in the Canterbury and coastal communities to provide support services to children and families.  We are inclusive, non-judgemental, and governed by the needs of the communities we serve. Our focus is primarily on prevention and early intervention so that problems within families are less likely to arise, and, if they do, they can be addressed positively.

The charity offers parenting support programmes, play sessions, short courses, family events, support groups and much more to promote strong family relationships and positive outcomes for children. We firmly believe in effective partnership working with families, agencies and organisations to support children in reaching their full potential.
