Our heart is to champion and empower young people to understand their worth.
The team aim to equip young people to face challenges and changes that arise in their stories, by offering time, tips and tools that focus on hope, faith, building resilience, empathy and confidence.
We believe education is paramount in this and want to support schools through The Story Project.

Our team can support you through delivery of these programmes and environments including:
- Connection Clubs

Have you ever thought of having a designated quiet space within school where students could drop in throughout the day to pause and reflect?
