Improving confidence

Nurture a Child works to identify the individual requirements of young people. We then work with them and the appropriate partner agencies to identify and deliver effective personal and physical development schemes to aid improvements in self esteem, confidence and aspirations. Where necessary, Nurture a Child will work to assist in securing funding to support personal development, engagement in sport and training schemes.

Nurture a Child also works closely with the local business and sporting community to forge links with the wider population, for example by facilitating and organising company tours and site visits. For many younger adults this is very often their first exposure to everyday workplaces.

Nurture a Child will find and support attendance on training courses, trade exhibitions or work experience – whatever is most appropriate to support the personal, emotional and physical development of young people beyond that provided by their existing environment and personal circumstance.

Links with local businesses and sporting organisations also offer staff the opportunity to become involved as mentors to young people and thereby acts as a personal development tool for personnel as well as helping to meet company CSR objectives.


Identifying opportunities

Lots of our work is on a case-by-case basis, identifying opportunities to nurture children in a loving way. We’re an extension of what any parent would do for their child.

We organise annual charity drives, particularly at Christmas time, to provide essentials and gifts for struggling children, young people and their families.
