What We Do

Reimagining the future of vulnerable young people’s lives through services delivered by professionals with real-life experience. We work in partnership with schools, academy trusts, local authorities and organisations. Work with us to help build resilience and aspiration in the next generation.

As long as you have discipline, you can be a success. Discipline is what makes you do everything you need to do.

Empowering Youth: From Our Past to Their Future.

Drawing from our own life experiences, having once been involved in exploitation and violence, we guide young people away from making the same mistakes. This proven approach counters glamorised narratives and engages the hardest-to-reach young people.

The event was great, with around 250 children passing through over the three days. It was obvious as an observer how Moses and Thomas were able to strike up a really good rapport with the kids, of all ages, and their inputs were understood and did have an impact on the young people, who we hope will take their learning away – for themselves, their friends and family.

Training for staff was really well received with staff commenting that it was fantastic, good, informative, inspiring, and that it was different to normal training as it was a lived experience. Good for those staff who have not had these experiences to see what it was like from the other side, and how things can turn around.Thank you for taking out the time to deliver the training. My experience with Thomas and Moses was fantastic - they were on-time and knowledgeable.

Students at Oakbank have benefitted immensely in the last couple of years from the service provided by Charles Carrington and Thomas Jarvis.The 1:1 mentoring sessions have helped students to self-regulate and make the right choices in school. The boxing club offered at lunchtime and afterschool has had a positive impact on the students' wellbeing. The key benefits of these sessions are to help develop self-discipline, build self-confidence as well as being a healthy physical activity. Charles and Thomas have developed positive relationships with students over the years.We would highly recommend the service to other schools.
