Why the community needs us
Free 2 Talk provide programmes that benefit whole deprived communities. For children and young people we have regular informal education groups in Northampton East which develop their sense of belonging and pride in their community. Very vulnerable families benefit from intensive, mindful and effective family and parenting support. The community benefits from our success in reducing family violence, improving personal and social skills and enabling people to care about their community.
Our impact on the community
Families have chosen to stay together and successfully worked through their challenges. Fathers have become aware of their aggression and learnt new ways of dealing with their emotions. People have learnt to respect and care for their relationships.Young people have voiced things that worry them and how their support can be improved. Young people have reduced their anti social behaviour. Children feel increased confidence and self esteem. Children feel able to ask for help with school and home.
