ABOUT US
Who We Are!
Founded by Director Mrs Karen Bryson, Bright Futures 4 All, provides quality, education and well-being services, that support adults and children to achieve extraordinary results in their lives.
​
"It takes a village to raise a child"
​
Inspired by this African Proverb, we believe that the successful upbringing of a child is a community effort. The responsibility for raising a child is shared with the extended family - this includes neighbours, friends, schools and community-centred enterprises. This communal approach is at the heart of our services.
What Our Stakeholders Say About Us
A Brief History
Originally founded in Islington, London (2007), BF4A promotes greater equality of access to educational and well-being opportunities to all children, especially those with disabilities and from low-income homes. We began life in partnership with Islington's St. Mary's and St. Luke's Community centres, where we offered an affordable (£2.50) after-school homework & arts club. This included the teaching of English, maths, French, & art-based therapeutic work. Ran by a team of Black male learning assistants, we took our mainly migrant/refugee families, on local and international (France) trips.
We now based in Croydon, serving communities in the surrounding South London boroughs. We see providing inspirational education and well-being services, as a tool for greater social mobility and economic empowerment. We aim to achieve this by partnering with donor organisations, to deliver a range of excellent, free and affordable services to those families who are in need of support.
