“The children are all achieving incredible things at school and doing after school activities, but most of all they’re just enjoying every minute of their childhood in such a more relaxed and happy environment.”
“For the first time, [child] recognises that a ‘feeling’ in his tummy can mean he’s worried, scared etc. He has been able to vocalise this to me which has helped as I can comfort him.”
– BB4K parent
“We have found the support received from BB4K to be invaluable especially for Troy’s mental wellbeing… With the continued support, we are all confident Troy will go from strength to strength.”
