About HBFT
The Hillel Bright Futures Trust (HBFT) is a leading charity dedicated to supporting families in South London with children who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEN(D)). We serve as the ultimate community hub—a one-stop destination for parents, carers, and their children and young people to access well-being, educational, and play-based therapeutic support and advice. We aim to help them thrive so they can make a valuable contribution to society.
We are OFSTED registered!
Registration Number 2829652
HBFT exists to support children and families in South London through education and holistic support.
We provide a safe, inclusive environment where young people from all backgrounds — especially those with special educational needs—can build resilience and achieve their potential. Through small-class schooling and community-focused after-school and holiday well-being programmes, we aim to break barriers to success and foster a more hopeful, independent future for our local community.
Driven by an inclusive Christian ethos, we prioritise SEND families of all faiths and none.

Specialist Support For Families
From therapist, mentors and 1-2-1 tutoring to hosting workshops and talks to support, equip and strengthen parents and carers, we are here to support the whole family.
We believe a happy parent/carer is a happy child and work closely with families to ensure the impact we have on their young people is sustained.
