Programmes2Change is an exciting new company established to further develop the Up2U approach and to offer greater support to the organisations working with us.  We look forward to working with both existing and new organisations in this new chapter.

North Lanarkshire Council have worked in partnership with Amy Ford since 2018. This partnership has led to the successful implementation of UP2U across both Justice and Children and Family Social Work services in North Lanarkshire. The suite of UP2U resources have enabled our local authority to provide a trauma informed approach to behaviour change work both for mandated individuals and non-mandated individuals and their families. Our UP2U service continues to evolve and develop in North Lanarkshire with the support and guidance from Programmes2Change.

Really enjoyed this training. The content was very informative with some really great tools to use. It was fun made so by Amy who is very experienced and engaged her audience with such knowledge and enthusiasm which made us feel all at ease and willing to learn. I would really recommend this to anyone who works with families.
