The OGGA Foundation

A community collaboration with United Families and supported by Talk it out.

The BRAVE project will entail monthly social groups for children aged 0-12. We will link up with other services around the South Kent Coast area, that specialize in teenagers and young adults.

The groups will be lead by volunteers and supported by professionals. The aim of the groups will be too support the children's mental health and wellbeing through activities. For the children to meet others who have and are going through similar situations to themselves, but upmost for the children to have fun and feel it is ok not to be ok.
