_______________________________________________________________________________
Pathfinder work directly in schools to deliver high quality family support and at the heart of what we do is build a safe trusted relationship between schools and families. We are based in schools like Springfield House Community School to work to co-ordinate services and advocate on behalf of families who would like to access support.
Our Values - Pathfinder Birmingham provide sustained, relational support to families through schools, grounded in our values of nurture, social justice and shared authority.
Shared Authority - Our aim is to work ‘alongside’ families bringing a wealth of expertise to address identified barriers in a supportive, non- judgemental approach that empowers families and builds resilience.
Commitment to social justice - Pathfinder staff will never promise something we are unable to deliver, we do not close cases. This means families will have access to ongoing support for as long as the need.
We love working with children and their families and we're pleased to offer a wide range of support through Springfield House Community School which will be long term and flexible. We are here to listen and support.
We can offer signposting for:
Emotional wellbeing and Mental Health services
Housing/Energy Efficiency
Benefits such as PIP (DLA)/ Housing Fund
Food Support such as food banks and other social enterprises
Citizens Advice Bureau
Holiday clubs and other SEND clubs in your local area _________________
