Meet the Founder
Isabelle Freitas Wright
My journey hasn't been straightforward. Growing up navigating poverty, instability and gaps in support gave me a firsthand understanding of the challenges young people can face when their needs go unrecognised.
Becoming a young mother was a turning point.I returned to education, invested in my personal and professional development and went on to build a career supporting young people and strengthening communities.
Today, I bring together my lived experience, education and professional expertise in youth mentoring, programme leadership, education partnerships and community development.
I founded Wright Reach CIC because I believe young people deserve more than services that respond when things go wrong. They deserve trusted relationships, opportunities and support that recognise their potential before they reach crisis point.
Wright Reach is built on both lived experience and professional understanding, with a commitment to doing things differently.
Residential & Project Development
I've supported the setup of semi-independent and residential care settings, including policy development, safeguarding, safer recruitment and staff training.
I bring this experience into Wright Reach, ensuring our programmes are built on strong safeguarding practices, thoughtful planning and a commitment to young people's wellbeing.
Practice, Leadership & Impact
My experience includes leading projects supporting young people in care and alternative provision, mentoring staff and developing approaches that improve engagement and outcomes.
At Wright Reach, I bring this experience into designing and delivering meaningful, relationship-based support, ensuring our work responds to individual needs, measures impact and creates lasting opportunities for young people.
Trauma-Informed Mentoring & Support
I've delivered targeted mentoring to young people in care and alternative provision, including those at risk of offending.
This experience has shaped Wright Reach's relationship-based approach, focused on building trust, strengthening engagement and helping young people move forward with confidence.
Our Vision
A future where no young person is defined by their circumstances, overlooked by systems or left to navigate life's challenges alone.
Through trusted relationships, early support and meaningful opportunities, we want young people to feel seen, recognise their potential and have the confidence to shape their own futures.
