'It was unconventional, because it didn’t sit under any particular bit of the hierarchy. It wasn’t part of the system. It was a little enclave.'

An interview with our new patron about her involvement in the early days of founding the Bham Pathfinder.

Traditional metrics can pose serious challenges to developing alternative models of family support, especially those which are holistic and long-term. We discuss this in our latest blog.

So proud to be featured in Lankelly Chase's Legacy Website. These guys were a huge factor in our survival and development in the early days of the Pathfinder. This interview discusses a subject close to our hearts:

Our shared authority work is at the heart of what we do: where our Pathfinder families get to show just what they can do with the right support. We are so grateful to the National Lottery whose funding means we can take this work to the next level!

What to do when your work is too far from business-as-usual for many funders, and yet - at the same time - it's hard to articulate what’s so ‘innovative’ about it, because it is actually ‘good old fashioned common sense’?

Keep going, and trust that the right people will see your work in the end.

Delighted to be entering into partnership with the new West Midlands' @themultibank.bsky.social . This will really benefit families across all Pathfinder schools. We are really looking forward to getting started working together and developing this exciting new partnership.

Excited to join Bluesky and looking forward to connecting with like-minded souls and organisations interested in some of the things we are!
