According to a report conducted by the Lancashire city council in 2021 using the English indices of deprivation, Burnley is classified as the most deprived town in Lancashire. This existing deprivation, alongside the present cost of living crisis puts further strain onto families, leading to higher levels of divorce and family separation.

As Jack and Amelia join the other children in the building to play, Daniel and Kelly decide to go upstairs to the reflection garden. This peaceful space allows them to have a private conversation about their relationship.

Daniel and Kelly openly express their regret over the way their marriage ended. They both acknowledge the importance of raising their children in a nuclear family and are willing to take gradual steps towards reconciliation.

As the day winds down, Daniel lovingly embraces his children and bids them farewell. Just as he is about to leave, Kelly expresses her enjoyment of the day and suggests the possibility of arranging similar gettogethers on a weekly basis. She appreciates seeing Daniel actively engaged in playing with the children once again.

After several visits, Daniel and Kelly rekindle their relationship, breathing new life into it. Kelly agrees to let Daniel move back home and help raise their children, allowing them to live together as a nuclear family once more.

The Burnley Family Reconciliation Centre plays a crucial role in revitalising broken marriages, fostering interactions within its interactive environment without the need for formal counselling.
