SHINE
We have been supporting children in need since the 1850’s.
We want all young people to feel secure, have opportunities and to thrive. Our ambition is to create brighter futures for the most disadvantaged young people by providing support and education.
WHAT IS SHINE?
Shine is all about positive relationships and social connections.
Our practice is centred around a supportive, trusting, and developmental relationship between a young person, their Shine Supporter, their peers and sometimes their family.
WHO IS SHINE FOR?
Shine works with vulnerable teenagers up to adults aged 25 who may be care leavers, care experienced or homeless.
Shine works best for young people that are being passed between different services or who are going to age out of children’s social care and would benefit from a longer-term relational model of support.
HOW TO GET SUPPORT
If you’re care experienced or a care leaver and want to take control of your future, then Shine is here to help.
We will listen to you, try to understand you, and agree and work on your priorities. We want to support you and work with you on your strengths as well as your challenges and realities.
