I loved the idea of these Positivity Workshops. It has helped my daughter’s mindset, uplifted her mood from negative thinking and brought her back to that bubbly smiley girl I know.

Cherelle Parent

My daughter missed a lot of school during Covid-19 and it did put her back in her learning. There are days where she struggles to understand the world. These workshops were really good for her to express her feelings and we need more of them.

Clare Parent

These Positivity Workshops have not just helped my daughter but me too because we get to talk to each other about our problems. Seeing the smile on my daughter’s face by coming to these workshops has made me feel proud and happy knowing she is happy and finally achieving what she wants to achieve. I want to say thank you to everybody that’s helped her!

The Peer Mentor Training has benefited me so much. I’ve changed as a person a lot. I’ve been able to help loads of people especially a friend of mine who had low self-esteem.

Ranjit Peer Mentor Training

When I was in Year 7 I had Leukaemia. It was hard for me and I missed a whole year of school. I’m meant to be in Year 10 at the moment but I’m in Year 9. During my sickness I was sad but kept faith as I had a 90% chance of living. Treatment was good and I was not at risk of catching other things. I steadily improved over the years but still felt sad at times. These workshops motivated me to succeed in life and be happy – whatever happens in life learn from it and move on!

Irfaan Debating Workshops

These workshops were a breath of fresh air. We brought it into school. It was a fantastic way of engaging with the children – giving them a better mindset. We had parents who couldn’t thank us enough. The children’s attitude completely changed and were well engaged in school.

Emma Jones Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead

The Leadership Workshops have been really powerful developing the children’s self-confidence, social interaction skills and leadership skills. The learning itself was linked to real life context so the children could utilise these skills and transfer them across the different curriculum subject areas. So, where they’ve used leadership skills in the workshops, they then have been able to apply that to technology projects where they work collaboratively to produce certain outcomes such as leading a group.

Jon Hadley Acting Head Teacher

The Enterprise Workshops really benefited the pupils. It’s been an opportunity to build their character and their communication skills and given them a really good insight on setting up their own business. A lot of pupils now know how to become entrepreneurs and have the passion to set up their own business in the future.

Obi Arabi Behaviour Lead

You have been outstanding in your approach to mentoring young people, and the feedback I have had from the children, families and schools you have worked with has been incredible. Your company goes above and beyond to provide a safe engaging environment for young people. I myself have personally witnessed this within the Empowerment and Leadership sessions you ran for our young people in West Bromwich. Your company has excelled at partnership working. And you have been able to provide advice at any point during the project alongside informative updates.
