Inspiration on the Move

We believe in getting out and about to provide groups of children, young people and adults with the information and inspiration that will help them to improve their lives.

What organisations do we visit?

Our visits can benefit a range of organisations including:

• Universities
• Colleges
• Secondary schools
• Academies
• Primary schools
• Housing associations
• Community groups

Who delivers the presentations?

Many of the presentations are delivered by young people who have themselves had to deal with the issues being discussed. This provides them with a strong insight into the challenges facing others and added credibility in offering support and guidance.

What issues are covered?

We can tailor-make the sessions to tackle these issues that are priorities for your organisation. These could include:

• Physical and mental wellbeing
• Combating bullying and harassment
• Managing money
• Making the transition from primary to secondary school
• Staying away from crime
• Tackling drug and alcohol problems
• Choosing a career
• Employment skills
• Aspirations and goal setting

Sessions can also be based around specific events such as:

• Freshers Week
• International Women’s Day
• Transgender Awareness Week

What form do the sessions take?

We are very flexible and can vary the format to maximise the benefits to students. All visits feature a presentation but they can also include:

• Speakers
• Workshops
• Short stories

Interactive sessions such as workshops can be especially effective in engaging with young people and providing them with the motivation and confidence to improve their lives.

How long do the sessions last?

We can deliver day and half-day sessions to meet the needs of your organisation.
