Well, I never thought I could run more than a few paces and certainly didn't think I would be bold enough to try and run a whole 10K. However, I so love what Bright PIP is all about I'm giving it my very best.

Having been a social worker working with children and families for over 20 years, I have learned how the relationship between a baby and their main care-giver during those early years is pivotal to how the child learns about the world around them and shapes the adult they become. I am also aware how parental mental health issues can impact on a parent's capacity to fulfil this role. Raising a little one can feel overwhelming at times for any parent.

BrightPIP is all about helping to strengthen the relationship between an infant and their parent. What I really love is that it is not a reactive approach which most Western models are based on, but takes a preventative approach. BrightPIP understands what can happen and works hard to change what might otherwise be a sad outcome for everybody involved.

I am proud to be a trustee member of BrightPIP. I hope that as we run as a team of 10, we can raise more funds to enable BrightPIP to continue to grow and reach more and  more vulnerable children and families in Brighton&Hove who need our support.
