Brighter Horizons is a not-for-profit arm of Bachlaw Projects.

Brighter Horizons has 3 main strands- A specialist fostering service, local community supports and a global citizen partnership with Nemauku in Zimbabwe.

The specialist fostering service is registered with the care inspectorate and has been designed to offer a family placement experience for young people who have been placed with Bachlaw Projects Intensive support service and are ready for a planned move. The professional foster carers are qualified to HNC/ SVQ3 level and are skilled at making relationships with the young people they care for. The carers are supported by qualified social workers and a 24hr on call management system.

We recognise the importance of being part of the local community and value the positive connections we have across Banffshire. As part of our commitment to the area, we run a number of sports and activity groups for young people. We also look for gaps in services/ local needs and aim to create programmes or events to meet those needs.

Brighter Horizons have developed a partnership with Nemauku in Zimbabwe. The connection started with sponsoring a small number of students in the primary school and has grown over the years to supporting students through their secondary and Higher education. Groups from Brighter Horizons have visited to offer practical help. We now have a community centre in the village which serves as a co-operative for the community.
