Schools-based
Programmes
Wellbeing programmes for 11-19 yr olds delivered in your school by dedicated Trust athlete mentors. For young people, including children with social workers; pupil premium; children with social emotional mental health challenges; and harder to engage children who would benefit from the support of a positive role model to achieve their potential.
Shaping futures
Our world class athlete mentors work with students to improve confidence, resilience and wellbeing over 8 three-hour sessions in your school, at times to suit your timetable, equipping them with a winning mindset that’s ready to achieve.
Motivating and aspirational, the programme helps them build healthy relationships in school and with the wider community, and understand the importance of physical and mental wellness. With a strong focus on their own personal development, it promotes positive behaviours and attitudes, and sets them up to achieve in education, work and life.
