Parent Plus
ParentPlus is Chance UK's new parent mentoring scheme, funded by the Family Support Unit at the Home Office. The scheme will be available to approx 70 parents a year whose children are already receiving our services.
The new Programme Manager for ParentPlus, Kate Lawton starts on 17th June and will be setting up the new scheme, based on our successful pilot project.
She will start recruiting mentors and parents this summer. In the meantime if you would like more information or would like to volunteer your services as a parent mentor contact Gracia McGrath on ceo@chanceuk.com.


Children's Promise Project

The Children's Promise Project is now full steam ahead with various
workshops and activities being organised for the coming months.
Some mentees have already produced a series of successful documentary works with photographer Virginia Woods-Jack. Thanks go to Fuji for kindly donating the disposable cameras for this!
A portrait photography project will soon be underway, again in collaboration with Virginia.
Performance workshops with actor Nick Mark are next on the agenda, to produce work which will be on digital video for the exhibition. We want to make this a multi-media show, so that the mentees can express their creativity and energy through less static art forms. Individual mentors and mentees are also working on storytelling projects which we want to put into the form of a digital book for the show.
Any questions, suggestions or offers of help with the project -
Please contact Project Co-ordinator, Marian Anderson on 020 7281 5858 ext 201 or by email: projco@chanceuk.com.
