Fundraising for Bright Horizons Foundation for Children
Story
Bright Horizons Family Solutions is committed to making a difference, not only in the lives of the thousands of children we care for daily in our nurseries, but also in the communities where we live and work. The Bright Horizons Foundation for Children, founded by our parent company in the USA in 1999, is our way of putting that commitment into practical purpose where it is most needed.
We work with local community agencies and our clients to create Bright Spaces©,
rooms or garden areas in homeless shelters and temporary housing facilities
where children and families can play, learn, have fun and most of all feel safe
As a region, we will be working hard to raise £10,000 for the Foundation. This
will support in the development of two new Bright Spaces in our local
communities.
The
Bright Horizons Foundation for Children is a nonprofit organization
focused on brightening the lives of children, youth, and families
experiencing homelessness and other crises. We do this by creating and
supporting Bright Spaces; warm, safe, enriching spaces in homeless
shelters and other agencies for children and youth to build caring
relationships, heal from trauma through play, and experience the joy of
childhood. The Foundation believes that we can make the world a better
place by engaging Bright Horizons’ employees, clients, families,
friends, and community partners to strengthen families, support our
communities, share our knowledge, and encourage others to join us in
making a difference. - See more at:
