Story
I'm taking part in A Brighter Team - The Whole Hog in aid of Ormiston Families, a charity who take early and preventative action to support families to be safe, healthy and resilient across the East of England. For 40 years, Ormiston Families have been working with families experiencing trauma, poor mental health, marginalisation, and lack of access to resources and opportunities. All of their services help people to build stronger networks, learn from experience, and feel in control of their own wellbeing, through a holistic package of wellbeing support, tailored to the needs of each individual. Their activities with these families aims to prevent the cycle of negative intergenerational behaviours, improve their mental health, resilience, self-esteem, independence and reduce the chance of future children ending up in the care system, in prison or at risk of harm.
