Who We Are & Our Mission
Who We Are
Blinded Faith is not your typical service provider; we are a passionate and dedicated family
committed to making a positive difference in the lives of children, young people, families and
vulnerable adults. We have a deep understanding of the challenges our community members
encounter because many of us have walked a similar path. We've faced real-life challenges
and conquered them, making us uniquely qualified to empathise and relate to the individuals
and families we serve.
With unwavering dedication and a wealth of experience, we provide a range of services
designed to nurture, support and empower individuals and families across the UK.
Our Mission
At the heart of our mission is the belief that every individual, regardless of their background
or circumstances, has the potential to thrive. Blinded Faith exists to unlock that potential,
guiding each person towards a brighter future filled with hope, confidence and fulfilment.

MALE MEMBERS OF STAFF
To us at Blinded Faith, being a part of the many elements that help change the lives of young people is extremely important and it is with this hope that we continue to work in this field. With this in mind, (we ask that) the children and young people enlisted to work with us in any capacity are the ones at most risk of spiralling down into a life of crime and/or exploitation, one decision at a time. Although we work with anyone, no matter the stage of their journey, at the heart of this is the prevention work we do. We implore you to not see a case as 'too soon' for intervention as we all know how quickly situations can change and our hope is that we, as a support system, start to see the extraordinary work needed before a CYP becomes regularly known by law enforcement officers. I know first-hand how prevention work could have saved a lot of heart ache for many in my life and let's be honest, the system a lot of money too. Together we can bring change to LIVES.
FEMALE MEMBERS OF STAFF
As a team, having experienced a combination of fatherlessness, not knowing who or where the biological father is, or a lack of positive older influences and having to navigate the world with this weight and all that brings, the female staff understands the masked outcry's of our female youth, as many have a similar story. Whether that cry shows it self in 'outrageous' choice of clothes to quickly grab attention, or the silent strokes of pain inflicted on themselves as external factors becomes an internal battle. We, as the female team of Blinded Faith are here to walk along side the truths of such pains with our young people as they learn how to steer through and turn their pains into PURPOSE.

Mark Bracewell - A Remarkable Journey of Transformation
Mark's story transcends the labels of a reformed ex-gang member. His journey is marked by resilience, having overcome emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as the internal instability caused by living in multiple homes and refuges. He witnessed domestic abuse suffered by his mother and became entangled in the gang and drug scene. Despite these challenges, Mark's spirit remained unbroken.
In an incident, he lost an eye in a violent knife attack. Today, Mark is not only a survivor but a thriving individual.

Beyond that, he is a gifted poet, a successful multi-business owner with his loving wife Kelisha, and a dedicated father.
