We work with schools, families, councils and community organisations to create what we call SEA change: improving childrens Social, Emotional and Academic wellbeing so they can thrive at school, in life, and in the future they choose.</p><p>Since 2016, weve grown from a small start-up in West London to a thriving team now reaching over 1,700 children across London and Greater Manchester. We bring people together across sectors to co-design support that makes sense locally, building trusted partnerships that last. We are now ready to deepen our presence and impact by bringing AllChild to Hastings and Bexhill - places full of community pride and creativity, but where too many children still face barriers to opportunity and wellbeing.</p></div>
