Taking Part at Circle - a message to the families we work with

PARTICIPATION

Circle aims to give the children, and families, we work with the confidence and opportunity to have their voices heard and be listened to.

We want to share their experiences in order to raise awareness of the challenges they face. We want to share their progress in order to celebrate the changes they have been able to make. We want to share their successes in order to show others that they too have a chance of a better life.
