One of the most rewarding parts of our work is seeing the relationships that develop over time.

We're incredibly thankful to KC's family for sharing these kind words. Knowing our support has made a difference to both KC and his family means more than we can put into words.

If you're a parent, young person or professional looking for support, or would like to make a referral, we'd be happy to hear from you.

On Friday, we attended the final community partners meeting led by Kieran Breen of Leicestershire Cares.

These quarterly meetings have provided a valuable opportunity for organisations across Leicester and Leicestershire to come together, exchange ideas, discuss the challenges facing our communities and learn from one another.

We'd like to thank Kieran for the leadership, encouragement and collaborative spirit he has brought to the group over the years. Creating spaces where the voluntary and community sector can connect is invaluable, and we're grateful to have been part of the journey.

We wish Kieran every success in his next chapter.

We recently supported an Uzbek-Afghan mother and her children who were experiencing domestic abuse, while also facing language barriers and a lack of local support networks.

Working alongside police, social services and NHS teams, we helped the family understand their options, access support and engage with services as part of an ongoing safeguarding response.

If you or someone you know needs support, please get in touch.
