Brighter Futures Jersey

Brighter Futures is a Jersey charity that supports families with parenting and life challenges by working alongside the main carer to enable child development, parent/child relationships and wellbeing. Our vision is for every family to have a brighter future by supporting families when they need us. Parents/carers are referred to Brighter Futures either by a professional such as GPs, health visitors, midwives or schools but clients can also self-refer. Each parent/Carer is supported on a one-to-one basis by their own identified keyworker. They access their programmes of choice, which focus on personal development, educational and second chance learning programmes/group sessions. The aim of which is to support families to be more resilient, confident and healthy. Brighter Futures supports parents/carers to recognise and value their role as their child’s first and most important educator; we empower and enable them to take ownership of their personal and educational development whilst encouraging them to achieve wellbeing and healthy relationships. We offer a broad range of parent/carer and child together groups that focus on the importance of creating and building positive, healthy relationships, social and emotional development, social communication and language development and physical development. Our wellbeing programmes offer parents/carers strategies to support their mental and physical health and wellbeing to be better able to cope with everyday stresses and struggles. Our personal development programmes are broad and varied and include aspects of child development, relationships and parenting. We support parents/carers to put theory in to practice using video to capture learning and reflection. We also offer opportunities for parents/carers to improve their functional skills to support them to progress and succeed in education, work, parenting skills and life. We are officially registered with the Jersey Charity Commissioner No 204.
