Shinsei Academy now offers 1:1 outreach mentoring services for young people that are at risk of exclusion and/or not attending school.

The sessions can be tailored to the young person's wishes but will always involve the teaching of key Shinsei values such as 'Respect', 'Resilience', 'discipline', 'honesty', 'compassion' and 'bravery'.

These sessions can be tied in with anything that the young person is interested in and will be pupil centred.

If you know a young person that is at risk of exclusion and in need of something completely different, contact us.

Not long to go now until the fantastic, Yearly 1940's day that we love to be involved in.

We are still in need of some tombola items and would be incredibly greatful for any donations that you may be able to pass on to us 🙏🏼

All funds raised from our stall on the day go directly back into our service so every penny counts 🥰 🌈
