When parents separate, the biggest question is always… what’s best for the children?

But kids have their own worries too — where they’ll live, who they’ll see, what changes next.

Child Inclusive Mediation gives them a safe space to be heard, without pressure or taking sides. With both parents’ agreement, a mediator can speak with your children and share their thoughts in a way they’re comfortable with.

Because when children feel heard, better decisions get made.

Familykind CIC is a great resource. We know how hard it can be navigating the complexities of education when you feel unsupported.

If you're struggling, get in touch. Heather is knowledgeable, supportive and passionate.

No one should have to navigate SEND alone.

This is what support should look like.

Parents talking openly, people listening without judgement, a cup of tea nearby and someone saying “I’ve been through that too.”

The truth is that many families navigating SEND feel isolated for a long time before they find their community.

FamilyKind exists to change that.

A place where people can talk honestly, share experiences and realise they’re not alone.

Because when families come together, knowledge grows, confidence builds and things start to feel a little less overwhelming.

Proper proud of this.

TalkFIRST is a Wigan-based charity dedicated to supporting families through conflict and change. Our mediation and support services help parents and carers find healthier ways to communicate, resolve disputes, and put children first.

We are currently looking to recruit new Trustees who share our passion for helping families and strengthening communities.

Ideally, we would love to hear from people who live or work in Wigan and understand what a brilliant and unique place it is. Local knowledge helps us ensure our services remain relevant and accessible to the families who need them most.

At this stage, we are particularly keen to hear from individuals with a finance background who can help guide the charity with financial oversight and strategic decision-making. However, more than anything, we’re looking for people who care about the work we do and want to get involved.

Being a Trustee with TalkFIRST isn’t just about attending meetings. We’re looking for people who are happy to roll their sleeves up, whether that’s lending a hand at fundraising activities, supporting community events, or helping us spread the word about the work we do.

As a Trustee you will:

Provide guidance and strategic oversight for the charity

Help ensure strong financial stewardship and sustainability

Support fundraising and awareness activities

Champion TalkFIRST within the local community

In return, you’ll join a passionate team working to make a real difference to families across Wigan.

If you believe in stronger families, better communication, and community-led support, we’d love to hear from you.
