Education + Youth Programmes

What we do

  • Deliver Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and conflict resolution workshops in schools, youth settings and informal education spaces

  • Facilitate creative and dialogue-based sessions that help young people explore emotions and build empathy

  • Train educators and youth professionals in trauma-awareness, restorative approaches, and inclusive practice

  • Support young leaders through peer facilitation, mentoring, and youth-led dialogue programmes

We deliver workshops and programmes that support young people to build social and emotional skills, handle conflict constructively, and grow into leaders in their communities. Our work also supports the adults around them—educators, youth workers and families—to do the same.

Outcomes

  • Young people feel more confident expressing themselves and managing difficult emotions

  • Reduced incidents of conflict or behavioural distress in group settings

  • Educators and youth professionals feel more equipped to support trauma-affected young people

  • Peer-led leadership and self-advocacy embedded into group culture

Dialogue + Community Engagement

What we do

  • Facilitate structured dialogue and healing-centred conversations between groups with differing experiences or identities

  • Support communities to navigate local tensions through slow, trust-based engagement

  • Deliver pop-up dialogue spaces, participatory forums, and lived experience-led listening sessions

  • Co-design cohesion programmes with community partners, often in response to local conflict, unrest, or recovery from collective trauma

  • Use creative tools (e.g. storytelling, collective mapping, film) to surface shared experiences and support emotional safety

Our cohesion work creates space for dialogue where it’s often missing — in communities experiencing mistrust, division or the long tail of systemic harm. We bring people together to name what’s difficult, listen across difference, and explore how trust can be rebuilt. We work in neighbourhoods, estates, town halls and community spaces — designing forums, listening projects, creative conversations and healing-centred engagements that meet people where they are.


We also work directly with grassroots organisers and residents to co-create engagement strategies, ensuring the process is not extractive or performative, but relational, meaningful and accessible.

Outcomes

  • Communities better able to talk through harm, mistrust or disconnection

  • Local residents more involved in shaping their own community wellbeing

  • Relationship repair between disconnected groups or generations

  • Institutions more accountable to the people they serve

Leadership + Capacity Building

What we do

  • Design and deliver leadership development programmes tailored to specific groups (e.g. young people, residents, peer supporters)

  • Facilitate training on trauma-aware leadership, holding space, reflective practice and collective decision-making

  • Equip participants with facilitation and conflict navigation skills, including role play and peer observation

  • Support community-led and youth-led projects that give people space to lead change on their terms

  • Build communities of practice among practitioners and local leaders working in emotionally demanding environments

We believe leadership should be relational, trauma-aware and rooted in lived experience. This strand of work focuses on building people’s ability to support others, facilitate dialogue, and take meaningful roles in their communities. We work with young people, grassroots organisers, peer facilitators and frontline staff to build critical skills — not through lectures, but through reflective, practice-based learning.


Our programmes blend training, mentoring, and collaborative design — often supporting people who’ve never seen themselves as leaders to step forward and take ownership.

Outcomes

  • Increased confidence in holding difficult conversations and supporting others

  • Participants take up leadership roles in schools, community organisations, or local initiatives

  • Stronger peer networks and mutual support among community leaders and young people

  • Greater sustainability of local leadership, reducing dependency on external facilitators

Trauma-Informed Support Services

What we do

  • Provide flexible 1:1 emotional support and advocacy, shaped by what each person needs

  • Design and facilitate peer-led or practitioner-supported groups for trauma recovery, grief processing, or long-term healing

  • Deliver psycho-social interventions rooted in dignity, body awareness, relational repair and post-traumatic growth

  • Train professionals in culturally responsive, trauma-informed care, including working with survivors of collective or identity-based harm

  • Support organisations to build safe, trauma-aware cultures through coaching, reflection and embedding practice

We offer responsive, trauma-informed care for individuals and groups living with the long-term impact of trauma — including survivors of violence, conflict, hate crime, displacement or systemic neglect. We walk alongside people, not ahead of them. Our approach is grounded in safety, cultural humility, and consistency — offering support in ways that reduce shame, centre autonomy, and honour lived experience.


This work is often slow, quiet, and deeply relational. It includes one-to-one casework, peer support, group recovery spaces and training for those doing frontline care.

Outcomes

  • Increased feelings of safety and dignity among trauma survivors
  • Greater access to spaces for emotional support and shared experience
  • Practitioners more confident and skilled in supporting trauma-affected communities
  • More sustainable systems of care rooted in trust, not bureaucracy
