Hurdle

We are a charity organisation that supports parents in Coventry and the surrounding areas who are, or are at risk of, recurrent care proceedings

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

Parents tell us that it is the relationship they build with their Keyworker that gives them the greatest benefit when working with us. We never underestimate how powerful just listening can be in helping to bring about positive changes to people's lives.

This is what a mother shared who has been working with Hurdle, on the impact of her Keyworker's support to help get her through difficult times.

We understand the vital role that dad's play in the family unit - that's why we offer our services fathers - whether they be a single parent or as part of a couple. By empowering and engaging with fathers, we can help build stronger families.

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

We work with mothers and fathers who are currently pregnant/expecting a baby and 'at risk' of their newborn baby being removed. Our support is offered throughout pregnancy and up to 12 months after their baby is born. The support we offer is led by the parent themselves.

Santa has come early thanks to #tesco Cannon Park Coventry and their incredibly kind shoppers for all these wonderful donations 🤩Thank you so much for your generosity! Our donation trolley has 1 more week before our elves final collection to deliver to our children and families

@dudleylodge Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of staff is so important, what an amazing achievement! 👏Well done!

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

We are continuing to build our evidence base to show that voluntary, early interventions for parents involved in recurrent care proceedings can achieve real positive outcomes that help keep children and their birth families together safely.

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

We commonly see an absence in completion of recommended therapy and support for parents when Care Proceedings end, which can disadvantage them if they expect a baby again in future. We address this gap by giving families the opportunity to complete 1-1, group work and therapy.

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

Advocacy and ensuring that parents views are heard and considered is a fundamental part of the work we do.

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

What parents say about us.... 🙏💚Thank you all for your feedback

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

We are all super proud of this statistic for us and @dudleylodge evidencing the positive impact that residential and post assessment support can be to help children and their birth families stay together safely

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

Our 6-week parenting group covers topics such as basic care, child development, guidance and boundaries, routines, safety and parental self-care and is open to any parent engaging in the Hurdle programme.

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

Wow! What a difference a week makes!! Look at the incredible kindness and generosity from #tesco shopper's in Coventry to support our Christmas appeal🤩We are over the moon with how much support you've shown our families...Thank you!!

[Hurdle @HurdleCommunity]

Having a child removed is extremely traumatic and painful for the parents we support. We do what we can to help provide the emotional and practical support needed to manage their significant loss including Keyworker support, befriending, 1-1 counselling and group therapy.
