How do we connect Self-Directed Support, Capacity Building, Community Development and Citizenship? >>>

Croydon Family Power (CFP) has worked to bridge the gap between families -who are finding life tricky- and their wider communities. CFP have also managed to disrupt the narrative that defines families as problematic, by shifting the focus away from who’s ‘wrong’ with families, to what’s ‘strong’ within and around them.
Nurture Development Managing Director, Cormac Russell, was honoured to keynote at the celebratory event. Paul Macey and Jennine Bailey, Nurture Development Associates, also attended the celebration and shared their experience  >>>
