Our Vision

All families at Ringwood & Fordingbridge Schools should have access to the support they need to develop and grow. No child should have to face
poverty and mental health problems alone.

Who We Are

Our mission is to provide a range of easy to access, immediate, high quality and sustainable support for young people and families with debt worries and mental health issues in our local area.

We are a group of local people and organisations who have come together to raise funds and secure services to address the issues of poverty and hardship in the locality of Ringwood & Fordingbridge Schools.

We are all volunteers and we work with local supporters who help us with funding our projects.
