Teaching children in early formative years allows for a brighter future, one in which they can dream and achieve.
Nurturing a sense of belonging and compassion for self and others is key to social and emotional wellbeing.
Lead a Bright Future is an award-winning social enterprise set up to support children and young people's wellbeing and future. At the heart of this, young people create enterprising projects, developing their wellbeing, life skills and giving back to the community.
Buddy Bear Friends pioneering wellbeing programme stemmed from such a project with vulnerable young people who wanted to prevent others from experiencing a lack of ‘belonging’ and bullying behaviours. Our longer-term aim is reversing the worrying trends in children and young people's poor mental health and wellbeing, equipping the next generation to thrive.
"No act of kindness,
no matter how small
is ever wasted"
