For a number of years Cranham Primary School has worked in partnership with Matt White from Platform Housing who is a Life Coach. Matt and Cranham collaboratively support parents with debt, housing issues, mental health and also help parents get into the workforce.

This has been so successful that Cranham and Matt now host fortnightly Family Sessions for the community where representatives from housing, police, mental health, the NHS and local councillors offer guidance to families in need of support. So many people attended that the school had to find an additional three rooms to accommodate everyone!
