About Us


Through our projects we aim to provide help, advice and support to those that need it, whilst working to develop realistic solutions and positive approaches to childhood and parental challenges. We cover
a variety of topics from accident and injury prevention to parental support see projects for further details


Recently we have undergone extensive building work on parts of Brian Jackson House and now feature newly refurbished ground floor and
top floor conference rooms which are officially open and available for hire. If you’ve been away whilst we were undergoing our work we
look forward to welcoming you back and are confident you will be pleased with our latest improvements. To see images of rooms, or
