The Parent Club is a safe and supportive space created for mothers, fathers, and parents from racialised communities. We believe in the power of peer-to-peer support, where parents can come together to share their lived experiences openly and without judgment. Whether it’s navigating the challenges of racism, dealing with abuse, or addressing mental health issues, the Parent Club offers a space where voices are heard and stories are valued.
Through meaningful conversations, resource sharing, and community-building activities, the Parent Club aims to strengthen connections and provide a sense of belonging. It’s more than just a support group — it’s a space for healing, empowerment, and solidarity among parents who understand each other’s journeys. Together, we foster resilience and uplift one another in a culturally sensitive and inclusive environment.
We have separate support groups designed to meet the specific needs of our community. RISE Together offers a safe and understanding space for single mothers who are survivors of domestic abuse. Through this group, we provide emotional support, peer connection, and practical guidance for those navigating the aftermath of domestic violence.
In collaboration with SEMA (Scottish Ethnic Minority Autistics), we also offer dedicated support for parents of children with autism. This space acknowledges the unique challenges faced by racialised families and provides an opportunity to connect, share lived experiences, and access culturally relevant resources tailored to their journey.
We know that being a carer can be challenging, so we’re here to offer you the help you need in a way that respects you and your experiences.
Our programme provides tailored support to suit your unique needs and circumstances. Our team understands cultural barriers and is here to advocate for you every step of the way.
Whether you need advice, a listening ear, emotional encouragement, or practical help, we’re here for you.
Join us and connect with a compassionate, understanding community that genuinely cares about your wellbeing and personal journey.

Youth Club – Whether it’s through fun workshops, creative projects, or exciting trips, we’re here to help young people from racialised communities discover new passions, build skills, and make lifelong friends. Plus, they will be surrounded by a supportive community that celebrates their unique identity and experiences.
For example, every summer, we have Forest School where children and young people take part in Den Building, Fire Building, Nature Arts and Crafts, Sustainability and Nature Education and Woodland Games. We also offer the opportunity to experience an overnight camping stay in the safe hands of our friends at Operation Play Outdoors.
