We support children and young people to explore identity, build connections & strengthen communities so we can all live well together.

Through our work, children and young people feel connected to those around them, develop a sense of belonging to their local, national and global communities and  take action to create welcoming, kind and connected communities.

Our impact across 4 key areas

We have over 20 years of experience creating meaningful and practical ways for young people to get to know people around them and nurture a sense of shared local identity.

1. Social Action

We unlock young people’s vision of themselves as active citizens with the confidence, skills and pride in their communities needed to contribute fully to society.

2. Educational Achievement

Our work is embedded in the curriculum, rooted in effective pedagogy and aligned to Ofsted expectations and so contributes to reducing the achievement gap.

3. Wellbeing

Our work improves self-esteem and boosts positive feelings of belonging, purpose and trust.

Our work offers students the interpersonal communication skills, social confidence and critical thinking skills needed for later life.
