Charitable objects

4.1 The Charity's objects ("Objects") are, for the public benefit:To prevent and relieve the suffering and hardship of children, and families in need, particularly but not exclusively in circumstances where a child is at risk of being removed from the parents’ care by order of the courts due to risk of significant harm. To do so in particular but not exclusively through supporting the provision of a therapeutic relationship with a skilled practitioner providing advice, counselling and intense support to those who have experienced, or are at risk of repeatedly having, their children taken into care and by facilitating constructive relationships with those within their system including partners, family and professionals.
