Reinforcing healthy lifestyles by delivering workshops, cooking classes and fun
inter-generational shared social gatherings. We aim to empower our community
with the skills to live healthier lives; therefore healthier minds. We run
regular away days for women, our parents and young people, where we teach them
about mental health awareness, nutrition, holistic remedies and GOAL setting
There is a mental health crisis in our school system and a huge increase within
the last 5 years. Children are facing even more pressures than ever; exams,
social media, cyberbullying and body image and need to develop skills to cope
and succeed in today's world. We offer a safe and secure consistent place for
vulnerable young people to find support. . OUR FUTURE LEADERS Who we work with
One Step at a Time. We start working with our young people from an early age to
ensure that we can follow through when building their confidence and
self-esteem; especially when faced with challenges such as peer pressure, body
image, mental health, and addiction. Our youth team helps to make all our
courses a success. We use the skills of our Black community ambassadors,
be-frienders, and arts awarded courses as a mean of engagement. With our youth,
we use a unique approach to person-centred success. We encourage an holistic
approach, making them aware of Black history, Black leaders and connections with
the Black elders within our community. Our mission is to make a stronger and
fairer world and to fight for equality.
