A really valuable visit to innov8 in Bury St Edmunds, meeting mentors and young people supported through their alternative provision.

Great to see the work being done to build confidence, develop practical skills and help young people find a route that works for them.

Thank you to the team for such a warm welcome!

🌟 A truly inspiring visit to Innov8 Workshops in Bury St Edmunds 🌟

Councillor Simon Aalders, Cabinet member for Children and Young People, spent time at Innov8, an inspiring Suffolk charity that works with children and young people who need extra support to thrive.

He said: “Innov8 is a remarkable organisation dedicated to giving children and young people the support, skills and confidence they need to achieve, learn and prosper.

“What stood out most was the commitment of the staff, the excellent facilities and the clear sense of purpose that runs throughout the organisation. It’s making a real difference to lives across Suffolk.”

Their achievements over the past year speak for themselves:

✅ Every child who has come through Innov8's primary provision has successfully returned to school.
✅ Many young people aged 11-16 have also returned to mainstream education, while around half of those who remain with Innov8 are now applying to college.
✅ This term alone, young people are sitting 28 Functional Skills Maths and English exams, opening doors to further education, training and apprenticeships. Several have already passed.
✅ Unauthorised absence is below 10%, reflecting an environment where young people feel safe, supported and motivated to attend.

Combining mentoring, practical skills training and personalised learning, Innov8 helps young people re-engage with education, gain qualifications and build brighter futures.

Thank you so much! 🌈❤️

As we raised soooo much money we have been able to share the love and provide funding for other important mental health and wellbeing support in our community. Firstly we were able to support Innov8 Workshops . Innov8 Workshops provide alternative education for learners from Key Stage 1 through to Post-16 who face challenges in mainstream education. Whether due to learning difficulties, social and emotional needs, or risk of exclusion, they offer a safe, inclusive, and nurturing space where young people can rebuild confidence and discover their potential. This money will allow young people to access therapy and funding for vocational alternatives. Thankyou everyone for supporting BBB and allowing us to support such important causes 🙏🏻
