🏃 FRIDAY YOUTH CIRCUIT SESSIONS 🏃‍♀️

Another Friday putting the young people through their paces! 💪🏾

Our Illuminate Minds CIC Youth Circuit Sessions are about much more than fitness — we use sport to build confidence, discipline, resilience, teamwork and a stronger mindset.

From cardio and strength to balance, coordination, speed and plenty of laughs along the way, it's been great watching the young people push themselves, encourage each other and keep improving week after week. 👏🏾

A few weeks ago there was a little role reversal…

I'm usually the one handing out the certificates, so it felt strange being on the receiving end for once! 😊

A massive thank you to the team for presenting me with a certificate and recognising the work we're doing. I'm genuinely grateful for the appreciation. 🙏🏾🧡

We keep showing up. We keep building. We keep empowering.

One session, one young person, one step forward at a time. 🧠💡💪🏾

🌿 STEPPING STONES NATURE WALK — CROSSING INTO PURPOSE 🌿
Every Step Matters. Every Step Counts.

📅 Saturday 15th August 2026
📍 Dovedale Stepping Stones, Peak District

After the incredible response to our first memorial hike, you asked us to do it again — so by popular demand, we’re stepping back into nature, this time Crossing Into Purpose. 🌿🦁

Sometimes you have to step out of Babylon, reconnect with nature and remember where you’re going. 🌍🌿

This is more than a walk. It’s a journey of connection, reflection, healing, growth and unity — bringing families, young people, friends and community together in the beauty of nature.

🦁 HONOURING THE LEGACY OF EXODUS ⚔

As a Rastaman, my father Exodus founded the House of Dread with a mission to help young people navigate Babylon — providing guidance, community and another path for the next generation.

That same spirit lives on.

Different generation. Different journey. Same purpose — helping people find their way.

As we cross the stepping stones, each one represents something deeper:

🌿 CONNECT — Build friendships and community
🪨 REFLECT — Pause, breathe and look within
🌱 GROW — Step further into your purpose
❤️ RESTORE — Renew your mind, body and spirit
🤝 UNITE — Walk together and strengthen community

Until eventually… we cross into PURPOSE. ❤️

🚌 ONLY 2 COACH SEATS LEFT!
Transport available from Winson Green, Birmingham.

🚶🏾‍♂️ No coach seat? Meet us there!
You’re more than welcome to make your own way to Dovedale and join the journey.

☎️ Contact Illuminate Minds CIC for more information.

Bring comfortable footwear, water, snacks, an open mind and an open heart. 🌿

Step into YOUR PURPOSE. 🦁🌍❤️💛💚

The legacy lives on in every step we take together.

Some of the biggest changes in a young person's life happen in the little moments✨

One of Illuminate Minds CIC's favourite collaborations in 2025 was working alongside Civic Square on the Community Build Eco Toilet project. Through our Pathways to Work programme, young people experienced a real working environment, learning the importance of PPE, health and safety, the safe use of power tools, and practical carpentry skills.

It was inspiring to watch confidence grow as new skills were learned and young people discovered what they're capable of. I was also grateful to learn from Phil, the master carpenter, whose knowledge and patience made the day even more special.

Real experiences. Real skills. Real confidence.

Little moments. Lasting impact🙌🛠✨

The legacy of Exodus lives on 🦁

Grief can feel like a solitary path that every soul must walk, but today reminded me that we were never meant to carry the weight of the mountain alone.

In the hills, surrounded by love, roots, family and community, I saw the bigger picture. The Conquering Lion is not just about power it is about rising through pain, standing firm in spirit, and overscoming what was meant to break us.

Thank you, Father for being a great teacher
The lion still roars, because the pride is still standing.

Conquering grief with the heart of a lion, love, legacy, and the strengh provided by Jah, Rastafari. 🙏🦁🇯🇲🇪🇹

⚽🏆 EMPOWERING YOUTH THROUGH FOOTBALL 🏆⚽

Last Friday, Illuminate Minds CIC proudly celebrated the end of our first season working in collaboration with Bilston Elites Under 12s Football Team.

Held at Wednesfield Social Club, the evening was all about recognising the hard work, growth, commitment and achievements of these amazing young players throughout the season.

The children were presented with trophies and certificates, enjoyed games, food and plenty of fun with our inflatable football target! Seeing the smiles, excitement and pride on their faces was what the evening was truly about.

A massive thank you to every parent, child, coach and supporter who attended and helped make the celebration so special. None of this would be possible without your time, commitment and continued support.

This was more than an awards presentation it was a celebration of teamwork, confidence, discipline, friendship and young people believing in themselves.

The first season is complete, but the journey is only just beginning. 🌟

Building confidence. Creating opportunities. Empowering the next generation — one goal at a time.

I’m no goalkeeper, but I still stand on the front line catching young people before life lets them fall. 🤸🙌

The summer sun is shining, the energy is high, and it’s the perfect time to get young people outdoors, active and making positive memories. ☀️🔥

Check out our inflatable football target, bringing fun, confidence and positive competition to our community events. Available for events and private hire through Illuminate Minds CIC—get in touch for more services and information.

Illuminate Minds CIC – Pathways to Work Scheme

Since 2025, Illuminate Minds CIC has been creating real work opportunities for young people, giving them the chance to gain work experience, learn new skills, get paid, and receive certificates recognising their achievements.

Through our Pathways to Work Scheme, young people are building confidence, responsibility, customer service skills, teamwork, and an understanding of real working environments.

This year, we have also been working alongside Sunset Pantry, distributor of Grays Authentic Jamaican products, supporting food festivals and community events. At events like Sutton Food Festival 2026, young people helped on the market stall, engaged with customers, supported sales, promoted Caribbean sauces and seasonings, and connected with the wider community.

This is more than work experience — it is opportunity, culture, enterprise, confidence, and positive pathways in action.

Illuminate Minds CIC – empowering young people through experience, achievement and community.

We are facing a crisis within our communities. Now more than ever, this work truly matters.

Another successful Knife Crime Awareness Workshop where young people learned self-defence, de-escalation tactics, and how to better handle pressure, conflict, and real-life situations.

Alongside that came deeper lessons on awareness, consequences, emotional regulation, discipline, and protecting not just yourself, but your future.

Real conversations.
Real skills.
Real impact

Its time to Break the Cycle🙌🔗
