We work closely with school pastoral teams to deliver a bespoke programme of support for individuals and groups.
“The service you and your team offer in school is amazing! I don’t know what we would do without you....”
What we do
Mentoring
We offer one to one mentoring to help students find positive ways of dealing with the challenges they face in a non-judgmental and safe environment. We also offer transition mentoring to support students through the move from primary to secondary school.
Lunch clubs
We offer a variety of safe and welcoming environments for all students, especially the more vulnerable in the wider school setting.We also offer Christian clubs, which give students a safe place to explore faith in a culturally relevant way and ask the big questions about life. These clubs offer great opportunities to talk about values such as forgiveness and compassion through the stories and teachings of the Bible.
Where’s Your Head At?
Nine courses designed for use with small groups in school. Tackling subjects such as anxiety, bereavement, anger and self-esteem.
These courses are available for free download for use in school.
Prayer and Reflection Spaces
We create vibrant and interactive spaces where students can explore the meaning and significance of prayer, working with schools to make sure they get the most out of SMSC and the RE curricula.
Our team have created some free Prayer Space resources available for anyone to use in school.
“I liked the teachers and the lessons were inspiring. I’ve learned to be myself and be confident in who I am.”
