PROJECT
Fast (Families and Schools Together)
PURPOSE
To help children thrive at school and improve family wellbeing
FUNDING
The initial cost for schools is £9,995, which certifies them for three years for an unlimited number of families. Re-certification in the fourth year costs £1,800, with an ongoing annual implementation cost of £1,500, sometimes funded through grants or community organisations
BACKGROUND
Fast is an internationally recognised early intervention programme first developed in the US and adapted and taken forward in the UK by Middlesex University. In 2010, Save the Children joined forces with the university to run the programme and it has now been delivered to 40,000 children and adult family members at more than 600 primary schools. Fast extended to secondary schools last year, after being piloted in three schools in Northern Ireland and Birmingham.
