Approachable Parenting is an Organisation which was established in response to the needs of the BAME Communities. The COSARAF Foundation has made a one year grant to support the organisation’s Sparklers programme in Birmingham.
This project aims to further develop the skills of Muslim women volunteers (called ‘Sparklers’) to enable them to provide a wide range of quality support to (mainly Muslim) women facing abuse, discrimination and disadvantage.
Sparklers support disadvantaged women through 1:1 mentoring/peer support, handholding/referrals to professionals and group activities to boost their well-being and help reduce the impact of discrimination, disadvantage and abuse on them.
