our work

our mission is to advance the education, skills & training of young people, and those in contact with the criminal justice system

We do this by delivering programmes that focus on mental health and wellbeing delivered in accessible, practical and memorable ways.

Mental health is something we all have, and we shouldn’t be ashamed of it. Our programmes equip participants with the skills and knowledge to tackle mental health - and symptoms of mental ill-health - with a new approach;
led by empowerment, not stigma.

powered by
lived experience

Our ‘by and for’ model means that we deliver projects that have been shaped by the people they were designed for.

All of our team has lived experience of mental ill-health. Many of them also have lived experience of prison. This means that not only can we practice what we preach, but we share an understanding of the challenges relating to the the people we support.
