B4BP was established in 2018 following our work with children receiving play therapy at another charity, where it became clear that many of the challenges they faced were, in part, linked to parenting experiences. This insight shaped our core belief: the most effective long-term solution is to educate young people early, so they are better prepared for parenthood in the future. Since then, we have delivered courses in seven schools and published Nothing More Important, a practical guide explaining how schools and prisons can deliver parenthood education. Further information is available on our website.
Trustee qualities and skills
Reliability is an essential quality. We are particularly interested in Trustees who can offer experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Social media and LinkedIn, including website updates
- Knowledge of All-Party Parliamentary Groups
- Teaching experience (for example, former head teachers or those with backgrounds in PSHE, RE, or related subjects)
- Public relations, including press releases
- Campaigning and advocacy
- Charity sector involvement
- Writing for the press or articles
- Public speaking
- Experience working in prisons or Young Offender Institutions
- Networking
- Government or parliamentary experience
This range of skills would significantly support B4BP’s growth and impact.
