Our Vision
About us, Our Vision, Mission & Methods
Nurturing Foundations is based in Harpurhey, North Manchester, a challenging area which is ranked as the 2nd worst ward in England for the effect of long-term deprivation on children and families. Many have suffered adverse childhood experiences and most have very limited aspirations.
We have a vision for the future where individuals especially young people in Greater Manchester have the aspirations, resilience, and skills to flourish and the confidence to play an active role in civic life.
Our Vision
To see a world filled with empowered global citizens
capable of making the right choices at all times.
Social skills are the behaviours, verbal and non-verbal, that we use in order to communicate and interact effectively with other people both verbally and non-verbally in social spaces. Our training workshops are tailored to help people improve their social skills so they can become socially competent individuals.
We interact daily and it is very fundamental and important that we conduct ourselves in an atmosphere of mutual respect and courteous behaviour at all times. Nurturing Foundations was developed out of the realisation of the problems that exist due to the behaviour and actions of individuals, most especially young people, that lack consideration for the wellbeing of others.
We focus on prevention and early intervention as this is very necessary to support the next generation through lifelong learning thereby laying a solid foundation.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is the focus of the work we do with children and young adults.
