Nursery World Awards 2024 – Community Support

JOINT WINNER – Young Fathers Programme, Shifting Your Mindset Nottingham

 

This multifaceted support programme is designed to empower families, especially those facing challenges such as parental conflict, domestic abuse, and the need for positive parenting skills. The approach was developed to address significant gaps in community support services and provide holistic assistance to distressed families.

There was also a need for culturally sensitive interventions, responsive to diverse needs and reflective of the lived realities of community members.

The programme was developed following a thorough assessment of the needs of the local Nottingham community and an understanding of the challenges vulnerable families face. Through extensive research, consultation with stakeholders and community outreach efforts, several gaps were identified, including limited access to tailored programmes and an absence of family-centred approaches.
