We are raising funds for Power2’s unique early-interventions. Our mentoring programmes, 1:1 support and group activities help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds improve their mental, emotional and social wellbeing, engage in education and build more positive futures for themselves.

    Situation

    Power2 works with young people from low-income backgrounds including those in the care system, who have social, emotional and mental health needs such as being excessively withdrawn or isolated, having anger management challenges and/or being at risk of becoming NEET or involved in crime. Many have low confidence, self-esteem and motivation. 25% are at risk of school exclusion and all are disengaged from learning. Lockdowns and school closures compounded and entrenched these challenges.

    Solution

    Our programmes offer wellbeing support based on needs and our therapeutically-trained facilitators work with young people to identify and build on their strengths. Our curriculums engender a sense of responsibility and purpose through the prism of helping others and support improvements in wellbeing through reflection, planning, and interpersonal skills development. We encourage young people to become active contributors engaged in their own development, futures and communities.
