The Families First Project

The Family First Project - Family First’s main target group are local families with a focus on those who are most disaffected and under achieving in the community. This project provides real opportunities for young people and their families who would not otherwise have the confidence or ability to attain them.  BCV recognised that positive parental contributions can have a huge impact on young people’s progression. Families in the Winson Green, Handsworth, Ladywood, Lozells, Brookfields,  Hockley and Soho area needed facilities and activities where they can re-engage in learning and equip themselves with necessary skills and confidence.  Hence BCV established the Family First project an innovative project which aims to work directly with voluntary and community sector organisations to support the development, design and delivery of innovative and responsive family learning opportunities for people living in disadvantaged areas.
