Bright Futures Young Mum and Mums to Be Groups is open to all young women aged 14-25 and is delivered in partnership with Biddick Hall and Whiteleas Children’s Centres. The Group aims to focus on engaging both parents and children suffering disadvantages including poverty and deprivation; feelings of depression and isolation which all impact upon their ability to meet their own and their children’s day to day needs. We offer practical support to young mums around housing, benefits, budgeting, employment, domestic abuse and mental health needs and support specific to the needs of their children including workshops on potty training, sleep and behaviour; healthy cooking, first aid and trips to the local library. Groups provide young women with the knowledge, skills and support services to improve the life chances, health and wellbeing of themselves and their children. Over the last 6 months the group have worked on developing a Cookbook which raises awareness of the dangers of sugary and fatty foods, how to shop on a budget, healthy, easy and child friendly recipes.

As a parent, knowing or suspecting that your child is being sexually abused can be incredibly traumatic. It can be difficult to know how to begin to do something about it.
We understand that reporting your concerns is not easy, particularly when the abuser is someone that you know and trust. However, to protect your child, it is vital that you do speak out.
