About New Beginnings Foundation
The New Beginnings Foundation is a charity that supports families whose children are in the child protection system in the Greater Manchester area. We are not a statutory service and we are more than a parenting programme. We provide a wrap around service that enables parents to understand how past traumatic events have affected their identity, their coping strategies and their parenting skills.
We recognise that becoming a parent is one of life's most complex challenges. Our aim, therefore, is to support parents in the child protection process to develop the strength, knowledge and power they need to become the parents they want to be so that their children can stay in their care. At the end of the programme, we hope that parents stay with us, so that they can become peer mentors and share their insight and learning to help other parents do the same.
We have grown since we began in 2018. We have now supported over 200 families, an ever-growing team and our turnover is approximately £200k p.a.
