Good Enough Start (GES) have empowered parents and caregivers to nurture strong relationships with their babies to build a strong emotional foundation for their child's future since 2018.
In 2018, Good Enough Start was born from a unique collaboration between The Partnership of Millom Schools (PoMS) – a coalition of eight schools in Millom and the surrounding areas – North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust 0-19 Services, and Howgill Family Centre.
Together, we shared a vision: to bring local education, healthcare, and family support under one umbrella to provide supportive beginnings for families in the Millom community. At its heart was a mission to focus on the critical parent-infant relationship, understanding that the earliest connections lay the foundation for a child’s future well-being.
”Good Enough Start has been a lifeline for me and my baby. The support and warmth from the team made me feel confident in my parenting journey. I’ve built a stronger bond with my little one and found a community where I truly belong.
