What people say

“My Children are now more organised and focused, less shy and more ambitious, They are able to plan ahead and communicate better which has greatly boosted their confidence and can-do attitude.”

 

—  Kate, Mother

“I always look forward to the online sessions at the weekend where I can hang out with other young people because I know there’s always a new skill or knowledge to be acquired. I am developing my focus, academic attainment, positivity and self-determination which has tremendously helped with my social skills and mental health.”

—  Timi, Young Person

“I have been a part of this project since 2019 and privileged to speak on topics like “Let’s end hate crime”, Self-esteem and preparing for Excellence. It has been surreal seeing the growth in the leadership skills and confidence of the young people who attend the weekly sessions.”

— Mr Lanre, Volunteer

“Nurturing Foundations is doing a fantastic job of helping their service users and communities cope through the covid-19 crisis.”
