ABOUT US

Our Mission is to bring practical education, both formal and informal, to children and young people crafting lifelong learning skills.

By choosing to pursue a nurturing approach to encourage participation in our sessions, we engage with children and young people at a level they can easily connect with adults and their peers.

Recognising and cultivating their potential, striving for adventure and excellence, in a safe environment, supported by a wealth of creative and proficient adults.

OUR VALUES

With so many successful engagements, we believe in finding the right person for the right job. We don't always get it right the first time, but we pride ourselves on being responsive when we know something isn't working, and sometimes a small change can make a big world of difference.

Regardless of the situation, we like to start at the beginning. Nobody knows and understands their child better than Parents; we will make the time if and when appropriate to meet with parents and their child to make a fuller referral.

We encourage children and young people, along with our team, to try new things and to approach challenges and actively seek support if needed so that nobody feels left behind.

It is crucial that children, young people, and team members feel valued and not alone. We encourage constant communication and support within our team to make sure we create a positive working environment.

We aspire to inspire and empower children and young people referred to us, to reach for and exceed their goals - whatever they may be.
