Research Hub is at the heart of Brathay’s practice. Our intention is to better understand, develop, evidence and influence practice and policy. We achieve this by exploring practice from within and working alongside practitioners and participants. At the heart of our approach is action research, which aligns with Brathay’s experiential, participatory and person centered learning and development practice. Find Out More

We’re still here and supporting young people and their families

There might currently be a screen between our dedicated team of community workers and those we work with, but we’re committed to continue to support their wellbeing and mental health. The same care, kindness and help is still available for young people and their families.
