Parent Power

What Parent Power does

Parent Power Education Limited is a UK-registered non-profit / private limited company founded in 2020 by Bianca Sapara-Grant and headquartered in Bexley, with operational delivery in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. It runs a portfolio of community-based educational programmes for parents, young people, families and professionals, including the Aspire youth empowerment programme, Families Matter for primary-age children, Transition School for Year 6 pupils, Parent Coaching, Dads Forum, Youth Forum, Mental Health and Wellbeing Training, the Perinatal Programme (launched 2025) and the Discovering Me employability programme. Delivery is hybrid: in-person workshops at Woolwich Library, School House and Plumstead Library, plus online sessions via Zoom, supplemented by WhatsApp updates and a website/shop that sells published guides such as the 25 Day Journal and school-transition resources.

The underlying technology stack is entirely off-the-shelf — HubSpot for CRM and newsletter, GoDaddy for hosting, Meta Business for social analytics and standard Microsoft/Google productivity tools — with no proprietary platform, no APIs, no integrations and no AI/ML capabilities identified. Service quality instead rests on a volunteer network of Parent Champions and Youth Champions with lived experience, supported by certified NHS Mental Health First Aid and Triple P facilitators.

The business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than commercial. Core services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, with parent coaching explicitly funded through the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Supplementary revenue comes from PayPal donations and modest product sales through the Shop. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on word-of-mouth, library and community-space workshops, email capture and organic social media. The named stakeholders — UK local authorities, NHS, schools and the fostering sector — use Parent Power's resources but are not direct commercial customers, leaving the organisation structurally dependent on a single public-sector partnership for the bulk of its income.
