About The Glow Up Project

At The Glow Up Project CIC, we are a not-for-profit community interest company in Gravesend, Kent, also serving families across London. We are dedicated to supporting children, young people, and families with trauma-informed care that helps them heal, connect, and thrive.

Who We Are

The Glow Up Project CIC is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to
helping children, young people and families recover from trauma, strengthen relationships, and build brighter futures. Our team includes qualified psychotherapists, counsellors, and trained volunteers, with expertise in play therapy, creative approaches, systemic family work, and therapeutic parenting. As a Community Interest Company, we reinvest all surplus back into our services, making sure support reaches the children and families who need it most. We work alongside schools, local authorities, adoption and fostering agencies, and community
organisations to ensure families can access the right help at the right time.

Process difficult experiences in safe, supportive spaces

Strengthen family bonds and relationships

Build resilience and confidence for the future

Thrive at home, in school, and in the community

Our Values

Compassion – We meet every child and family with empathy, dignity and respect.

Integrity – We act with honesty, transparency and professionalism.

Inclusivity – We embrace diversity and make our services accessible to all.

Impact – We measure and share the difference our work makes.

Why We Exist

Every child deserves the chance to feel safe, understood and
supported. Yet many young people face challenges such as trauma, bereavement or family breakdown that can affect their wellbeing, confidence and opportunities.

The Glow Up Project exists to respond to this need. By offering creative therapies, family programmes and community support, we help young people make sense of their experiences, build stronger relationships, and move forward with hope for the future.
