LIFT

LIFT LIFT is committed to working holistically with individuals, families, and the community.

We take a whole-family approach, using the Key Working model to provide tailored support. LIFT’S aims & objectives are to assist families to learn new skills to improve their lives and encourage their children to grow up feeling loved, safe and respected so that they can realise their full potential. Through support and advocacy LIFT aims to tackle child poverty, increase wellbeing for individuals and families, to allow them to move forward from poverty and crises. This will be done in a variation of one – one support and group work sessions. Group work will consist of upskilling, cooking on a budget, budgeting, confidence building and employability skills. LIFT will follow Every Child, Every Chance model, working towards reducing child poverty, learn new skills to increase employment and training opportunities, assisting families to move forward from poverty and crises.

Delighted to announce My amazing LIFT team are finalists in the Forth Workplace awards

So proud off every one off you, from staff to volunteers what a team

In November last year we didn’t know if we would still have a centre but we pulled together while I fought with all I had to stay open and keep going, then we had loads off repairs, Nea heating, I had another knee op so again they pulled together to make sure everything ran smoothly while I recovered

Our referrals have doubled our groups are heaving, the staff are run off their feet the volunteers are all slightly mental but what a bloody team.

For me guys even if you don’t win your all winners in my eyes and we get a chance to all be together for a few juices and gentle chat!!!!!

Well done ladies I’m so proud off you all

Will see you all at the Usher Hall I’m sure everyone will know your all there cause I know how quiet you all are lol ❤️
