Cooking
We have exclusive access to a large kitchen which enables our young people to meet up week and cook their favourite dishes. From baking cakes to making fajitas for lunch.
Cooking
This helps young people develop essential life skills, such as budgeting their money, researching recipes, shopping for ingredients, and following step-by-step instructions to create their chosen dishes. This hands-on experience also helps with independence, boosts confidence, and encourages creativity, all while promoting a sense of community and collaboration.
Gym
We are fortunate to have access to a wide range of gyms located throughout the city and its surrounding areas. These facilities allow us to support young people in focusing on their overall wellbeing, promoting both physical fitness and mental health. By encouraging regular physical activity, we aim to help them build healthy habits, boost their confidence, and develop resilience. Whether it’s strength training, cardio workouts, or group fitness classes, these gyms offer diverse options tailored to individual interests and goals, creating a supportive environment where young people can thrive.
Wellbeing walks
We love taking young people on wellbeing walks through nature, giving them a chance to step away from their busy routines and enjoy the outdoors. These walks are all about slowing down, taking in the fresh air, and soaking up the peaceful surroundings. Along the way, we encourage them to notice the little things—like the sound of birds, the rustling of leaves, or the warmth of the sun. It’s a simple yet powerful way to relax, clear their minds, and feel more connected to themselves and the world around them.
Boxing
We love taking young people to boxing sessions—it’s such a great way for them to stay active and have fun while learning some really valuable skills.
"Boxing isn’t just about throwing punches; it’s about building confidence, staying focused, and developing discipline. It’s amazing to see how much they grow, not just physically but mentally too. " - Anton, Boxing mentor.
For many of our young people, it becomes a positive outlet where they can let off steam, clear their minds, and channel their energy in a constructive way. Whether they’re perfecting their technique, smashing their fitness goals, or just feeling proud after a tough session, boxing gives them a real sense of achievement and purpose.
Farm
Taking young people to farms is a great way for them to connect with nature and learn where food comes from. They love meeting animals, picking fresh produce, and trying hands-on tasks like feeding or collecting eggs. It’s a fun, eye-opening experience that builds appreciation for hard work, fosters curiosity, and offers a refreshing break from their usual routines.
The Driving Range
Taking young people to the driving range is always a lot of fun. It’s a chance for them to try something new, learn the basics of golf, and see how far they can hit the ball (which is always exciting!). The relaxed setting makes it easy for them to enjoy themselves while building skills like focus, patience, and coordination.
It’s great to see their confidence grow as they improve. It’s not just about the golf, it’s about trying something different, having a good time, and creating a positive experience they’ll remember.
