About us

Family Compass is a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). Our registered charity number is 1197742.

Our services may be bought in by schools, early help providers, community groups and other partner organisations, but can also be purchased privately by families.

To fund our direct provision for children and families within our local community (our Inhale/Exhale Therapy project)we secure grant funding and have regular community fundraising events. We also love to work in partnership other like-minded organisations, so talk to us if you have an idea you would like to collaborate on!

Based in Barnstaple, North Devon, the company was founded by Lucy Capron (Operations Director) and Keda Johnstone (Development Director) to deliver creative and family-focused therapies, high-quality mentoring and therapeutic group support to children and their families. With many years’ experience in family support, early help provision and child and adolescent mental health, we aim to provide family-centred, outcomes-focused support which makes a real and lasting impact.

Young people are often reluctant to seek help from mental health services for fear of being stigmatised, and support within and outside mental health settings is often patchy. If left unsupported, the impact of ill health and stigma can be devastating. But with the right help at the right time, the well-being of young people with mental health problems can be greatly improved.
