At Bright Futures UK, we support children and young people whose education has been disrupted by serious illness. Whether it’s through tutoring, mentoring, workshops, or befriending, our programmes are designed to help every young person stay connected to learning, rebuild confidence, and look forward to a brighter future.
Born from lived experience, our charity understands the challenges of balancing health and education—and we’re here to make sure no one has to face them alone.

Our mentors provide guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear to help young people navigate life during and after illness.
