Multi-Cultural Family Base

Pressure can come from all directions.

School, friendships, family, social media, expectations about the future – and sometimes the expectations young people place on themselves.

What feels manageable to one person can feel overwhelming to another, which is why having spaces where young people can talk openly about what they’re experiencing matters.

Across our programmes at MCFB, we want young people to feel able to explore those experiences, build supportive relationships and know that they don’t have to have everything figured out.

What helps you when things start to feel like too much?

We’re growing our Bright Choices team at Multi-Cultural Family Base and are currently recruiting for two roles: Project Leader and Project Worker.

Bright Choices offers free and confidential support to women, men and families from ethnically diverse backgrounds who have experienced, or are at risk of, ‘honour-based’ abuse (HBA), including domestic abuse, extended family abuse, coercive control, forced marriage and Female Ge***al Mutilation (FGM).

We’re looking for experienced professionals who understand how trauma and isolation can affect individuals and families, as well as the systemic barriers and discrimination that people from ethnically diverse backgrounds may face when seeking support.

You’ll bring an understanding of HBA, confidence in responding to risk and safeguarding concerns and a commitment to working in ways that are anti-racist and anti-oppressive.

If your experience and values align with the work of Bright Choices, we’d be pleased to hear from you.

Asking for help can be difficult, even when we know support is there.

For young people, reaching out often depends on feeling that they’ll be listened to and taken seriously. Building trust can make those first conversations feel easier and help young people know there are people they can turn to.

At MCFB, we work to create supportive relationships and spaces where young people feel able to talk about what’s happening in their lives and access support when they need it.

Sometimes opening the door to a conversation can be just as important as knowing what to say next.

What do you think makes it easier for someone to ask for help?

A lovely Katakeet memory from August!

Earlier this month, our Katakeet families were kindly invited by Starcatchers to attend the dress rehearsal of FLOAT — a beautiful, immersive experience created especially for babies from birth to 12 months and their grown-ups.

Inspired by the calming and healing qualities of water, FLOAT brought together music, movement, visual projections and sensory play to create a gentle, welcoming space for babies and parents to explore and enjoy together.

Our families had a wonderful time, and it was lovely to see both parents and little ones enjoying such a special experience.

A huge thank you to Starcatchers for the kind invitation and for welcoming our Katakeet families. 💙✨

Community can mean many things – the people we grow up with, the friendships we build, the places we spend our time or the connections we make along the way.

What brings those communities together is people: sharing experiences, supporting one another, getting involved and making space for others to feel listened to and included.

At MCFB, we create opportunities for young people and families to connect, participate and build relationships across our communities.

Sometimes, simply knowing there are people around you who care can make somewhere feel like it belongs to you too.

What makes you feel connected to your community?

Some of the things that shape us most aren’t learned from a textbook.

We learn through conversations, friendships and experiences – from listening to different perspectives, sharing what we know and discovering things together.

For young people, having opportunities to connect with others can help build confidence, develop new skills and deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.

At MCFB, we’re proud to create spaces where that kind of learning can happen.

What’s something another person has taught you that you've never forgotten?
