Creating a Healthy, Happy Start for Every Child

At HENRY, we believe that every baby and child deserves the best start in life. For over a decade, we’ve been working hand-in-hand with parents, carers, and practitioners to transform family life and create healthier, happier futures for children. Our holistic approach supports families to make sustainable changes that benefit physical health, emotional well-being, and strong family relationships.

From empowering local communities through tailored workshops to training professionals who guide families, HENRY continues to champion health and well-being in every step of a child’s early years.

Our Core Beliefs

At HENRY, we believe that:
