If we are to turn back the tide of family breakdown by making relationship education a normal part of everybody's life - just as ante-natal classes have become normal - then we need your help!

Tell others
We need you to tell others. If you've been on a course, you're in the small minority who have actually experienced relationship education. Most people assume it's to do with counselling or for people with problems. But you know that it's for everyone. It's about really practical skills that work. This negative perception will only change when relationship education becomes normal. You can play a vital part by encouraging your friends to come along.

Tell your story
We often get media requests for couples who have been on one of our courses. It's all very well us explaining how relationship education works. But there's nothing to beat a real life couple saying how their marriage or relationship has actually benefited.

Offer your skills
As a small charity, we have at least some expertise in most fields. But your specialist skill might be just what we need right now. For example, we have had help from media experts in gaining publicity. We have had help from computer experts in setting up our office network and installing programmes. We have had help from legal experts in setting up our charitable status.

Become a mentor
Mentoring is something most ordinary married couples could do easily and effectively. Mentoring couples who are getting married is a great place to start.

Teach a course
You don't need the brains of an archbishop to run a relationship or parenting education course. As we expand our reach, there are more and more opportunities to run courses. Marriage Preparation, The Marriage Course and parenting courses are very easy to run for the average small group leader. Also, when you teach it, it's a whole lot more likely you'll get to use it at home - for the better!

Help run a course
Several of our courses are very much easier to run with an extra pairs of hands or two. You can help us set up, welcome people, make tea and coffee, and maybe coach some of the skills.

Help run projects
As we develop new projects, such as our work in health clinics, we need people who can give a bit of time and energy to keep things going on the ground. Depending on your ability, we may be able to offer you a formal position with BCFT.

Raise funds
Selling the benefits of prevention is a harder story than showing a starving child and asking for donations. Yet people do support us with remarkable generosity and agree that what we do is really important. An ounce of prevention saves a pound of cure - most likely a ton of cure actually. If you can help us raise money, whether through local events or because you have fundraising skills, we'd love to hear from you.

Give donations
Last and not at all least, we need and value your generosity. Since 2002, we have been entirely funded by church donations. £10 per month pays for one couple to attend any of our courses. You may be able to afford to pay for several couples. Pleas contact us for details.
