Welcome to our new website!

Five Links Turning Point offers support and advice to anyone suffering from the effects of bullying in all its forms.

The steady rise in the number of young people, parents and agencies confidently accessing these services can only validate the need for, and the value of this project.  The increase in numbers seeking help and advice highlight both the extent of this tragic, and what could have been, unreported anti-social suffering, and the trust that those most in need have placed in its project managers by taking the first, and what may be for some, scary steps towards healing and empowerment.

Creative activities continue to provide young children with ’a safe place to be’ during school holidays, integrating children who are being bullied and those initiating the bullying has been a successful provision, and the creative and innovative ways in which both staff and volunteers deliver these and other activities has had a marked effect on lives of young children that may otherwise be in danger of becoming socially isolated and/or engaging in anti social behaviour themselves for the rest of their lives.

Overall, a great emphasis is placed on interaction, friendship, tolerance, empathy, integrity and courtesy. These are positive life skills that will not only benefit those children who are victims of bullying, but also encourage those initiating the bullying, for whatever reasons, to heal the past and shape the future.
