Support us to change a child's future
Donation protected
Every day, young people are being left behind by an education system that doesn’t always see their potential. Many of the students we work with are facing challenges like school exclusion, behaviour struggles or undiagnosed needs. and without the right support, the risk of long-term failure rises. Parents can't cope, schools don't know where to turn and everyone is left with no options! It's then the child that suffers.
I started Bright Path CIC because I’ve experienced firsthand what happens when children are misunderstood, not supported, and eventually excluded. It's not just a number on a school report, it’s a young life at risk.
Through our Life Skills Workshops, Mediation Services and Parent Support Groups we help young people learn the skills they need to succeed, not just in school, but in life. From financial literacy and communication to resilience and self-advocacy, we equip them with the tools the traditional system often misses.
Exclusion is often the first step towards disengagement, and disengagement can lead to much bigger risks — including involvement in crime. Research shows that permanently excluded students are far more likely to enter the criminal justice system. By stepping in early with practical life skills, conflict resolution and support for families, we aim to break that cycle before it starts, keeping young people connected to education and opportunity.
But we need your help!
We are fundraising to expand our reach, deliver more workshops, and provide 1-to-1 support where it’s needed most. Every donation helps us step in earlier, support families, and prevent young people from slipping through the cracks.
Your support could mean the difference between a life of struggle and a life of opportunity.
Thank you for believing in a future where every child is given a real chance to thrive.
We are accepting nearly new toys and baby items, which we are selling online and at Children's Markets! So if you want to clear the clutter over the Summer, here's your chance, and they will not only be reused by other lucky children, they will also contribute to supporting the young people to stay in education, with the right support!
