We unleash the power of children and young people so that they can build happy and fulfilling lives.

There are many reasons why a child or young person may find it difficult to attend school or engage with learning.

For some young people, they may be experiencing emotionally based school non-attendance where they feel too overwhelmed or worried to attend school.

This video we created in 2021 explores how young people felt before joining one of our programmes and the positive changes they noticed afterwards.

Although filmed several years ago, their experiences remain relevant today for other young people who are struggling with their wellbeing.

By providing early intervention through our group and one-to-one programmes, we help young people overcome their challenges and recognise their full potential.

“The programme has made me more confident to be myself. I’m very much a brand-new person and I’ve just had a fun time.” – Kaye, 14, Power2 Progress participant

On our Power2 Progress programme, young people become role models and mentor primary school students through their transition to secondary school.

Through the programme, the mentors develop valuable leadership and communication skills while making a positive difference to Year 6 students.

Kaye is now more confident than ever and has helped his mentee settle in at secondary school!

We’re working towards a society where every young person has the opportunities, support and tools they need to succeed in education, employment and everyday life.

On , we want young people to know that we believe in them and we’re in their corner 💚

Extracurricular activities can offer valuable opportunities for young people to build confidence, develop skills and improve wellbeing.

But not every young person has access to these opportunities. Barriers such as caring responsibilities and low confidence can make it difficult for vulnerable children and young people to take part.

That’s why our group mentoring programmes are delivered during school-time. By bringing support directly into schools, we aim to address these barriers so that young people can access vital support to help them thrive in their lives.

In our latest blog, we explore some of the barriers that can limit access to support and consider how they can be addressed.

On , we’re celebrating the teachers we work with who make an incredible difference in young people’s lives every day.

We spoke to Caroline Vile, Headteacher at Ellesmere Port Catholic High School, about the one-to-one support we’ve provided to children and young people at her school who were at risk of exclusion.

Caroline said, “The one-to-one support has significantly improved the young people’s behaviour, sense of belonging, self-belief and overall achievement. Attendance rates have increased, and we’ve seen a decline in exclusions.”

We’re proud to work alongside teachers to help young people lead brighter futures.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve received funding from the William Wates Memorial Trust for our Power2 Energise programme in London over the next two years! 🎉

Young people at risk of not reaching their full potential will have the opportunity to mentor primary school-aged pupils, while using movement as a tool to enhance their self-esteem, teamwork and social skills.

Taking part in fun activities helps young people to express themselves and feel more confident in their abilities, both outside and inside the classroom.

A huge thank you to William Wates Memorial Trust for your support. Your funding will help more young people recognise their potential and feel hopeful about their future.
