💸 Reimbursement of costs🤝 Extra supportAbout Bright Futures UK
Bright Futures UK is the first charity set up to support young people that have been forced to take time out of education because of an illness. We support anyone of educational age (5-24), whether it be a physical or mental health issue. Everything that we do is designed to bridge the gap between illness and normality for what is generally a severely underrepresented section of society.
We support our young people through our flagship programmes; Tutoring, Befriending, Workshops and Mentoring. Each programme has a different objective, with every session being designed alongside the young person to give them not only the best support, but the right support.
