Brushstrokes provides family support to help migrant and refugee families navigate key systems and ensure children are settled, safe and able to thrive. We support parents with school and nursery registrations, child benefit applications, and wider welfare and housing issues, alongside immigration advice where needed. Our Stay & Play sessions for parents and children aged 0–2 offer a safe, welcoming space to support early development, reduce isolation and help families build confidence and community connections.
