Community
Within community groups and charities, we challenge and motivate leaders, staff, volunteers and service users to make positive changes for themselves and the wider community. We do this by working closely with the loead contact to provide bespoke programmes with realistic outcomes. This could be a planning day, workshop, ongoing mentoring, access to podcasts or other engagement.
Schools
In schools, our informal assemblies and classroom sessions are designed to help students and staff to understand and make sense of their emotions, and recognise that they can be in control and take responsibility for their thoughts and behaviour, whilst at the same time implementing new methods of managing themselves. We encourage and promote resilience and also the benefits of healthy minds and healthy bodies.
Partnerships
Working closely with a number of professional, experienced partners, we deliver courses, assemblies, classroom sessions, training days, workshops and one to one coaching in a variety of settings, from pitch-side to prison and everywhere in between.
