The Bright Horizons Foundation for Children celebrated the grand reopening of its refurbished Bright Space at Andrew Provan House (APH) last month. Bright Spaces are designed to make a real difference and support thousands of vulnerable children across the UK. These safe, fun, and nurturing spaces are where children can recover from trauma and adversity and build positive relationships. Our Bright Space has undergone a significant refurbishment. APH was the first Bright Space to open in the UK in 2008.
APH primarily supports homeless families by providing independent living spaces that foster stability and rehabilitation. Our mission is to help families regain their footing through training, community support, and a sense of belonging.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by Bright Horizon’s Managing Director International, Ros Marshall and our own Chief Executive Officer, Peter Calderbank (pictured above, left to right).
As the ribbon was cut, mothers shared their stories while their children played together in the newly refurbished space. One mother said, "The Bright Space is a breath of fresh air. It's great to be in here, the colour palette and the furnishings are so nice. I loved that the team listened to us. We had a meeting where they took a lot of things on board, they listened to us about things such as furnishings and sustainable wooden toys. It has been brought to life again. It's relaxing to have a space to decompress with my child”.
