Our Work

PRIMARY SCHOOLS

You will see our work in a number of forms within primary schools, all supporting the KS1&2 Collective Worship requirements and RE curriculum. Our vibrant self-penned theatre-style assemblies prove to be incredibly popular with children and staff alike; delivering positive messages based on biblical teachings. At present we are touring the local primary schools with a three part 'Future' themed assembly which focusses on Growth Mindset which helps develop a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.

UNLIMITED

‘Unlimited’ is designed to build self-esteem amongst children in school years 5 and 6. We aim to help tackle the ever-increasing mental health crisis by encouraging a positive self-image and showing how each child is unique, with a crucial role to play in life.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS

We are passionate about raising a young person’s self-esteem and empowering them with effective knowledge in order that they make wise and healthy relationship choices. We want to eliminate potentially destructive behaviours by delivering unique self-esteem and relationship education, allowing teens to identify their view point and boundaries within a positive environment.

PLAY THERAPY

We offer Play Therapy to primary aged children as a means of helping them better express and communicate their feelings. This type of creative interaction allows a child to work through current challenges or past traumas. We continue to see transformational results, with parents and teachers reporting increased peer engagement and improvements in behaviour.

CHANGING LIVES

Our work with local homeless young people, including young parents, is incredibly important to us. Many of those we work with have experienced heart breaking challenges. We believe that everyone should have every opportunity to reach their potential and we develop sessions designed to meet their support needs through raising their self-esteem, whilst also having great fun.

CONNECT

Connect recruits, trains and manages volunteer secondary school mentors. The overall aim is to listen, support, encourage and empower the many young people we work with.
