Bryher and Ben, co-founders of Helping Kids Shine Limited, are on a mission to empower families and support children in achieving their full potential. After years of experience working in healthcare and social services, Bryher felt compelled to create a private therapy business that could offer more personalized support for families in need.
With Bryher having initially traded as Helping Kids Shine as a sole trader throughout the Covid years, in 2022 Bryher and Ben launched Helping Kids Shine Limited. Their goal is to help exhausted parents by recognizing challenges and making life easier. They work directly with families to identify each child’s strengths and participation difficulties. Then, they develop customized plans to help children build skills while embracing their unique qualities. At present Helping Kids Shine Limited offer Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy services.
Bryher and Ben have ambitious plans for the future. They aim to expand Helping Kids Shine into a multi-disciplinary “one-stop shop” where families can access timely support whenever they need it, without jumping through hoops. Families would receive assistance for as long as required, based not just on professionals’ assessments but also on input from the children and parents themselves. Ideally, Bryher and Ben hope to secure grants to subsidize services for families who can’t afford private fees.
