Power2 Thrive

The programme replicates our Teens and Toddlers model with added support for young people’s wellbeing. We reignite their passion for learning and help them succeed in school and life.

About Power2 Thrive

Power2 Thrive provides a tailored experience for secondary-aged students, taking them out of their usual school environment for one morning or afternoon a week and into a nursery setting to mentor a younger child for 16 weeks.  In doing so, they form meaningful friendships with the children while actively supporting their learning and development.

Successful completion of the programme means young people achieve a nationally recognised NCFE Level 1 qualification in Interpersonal Skills.

Programme topics include

Developing effective coping strategies

Healthy relationships

Body image and physical health

Where to go for support

Self-esteem and resilience

Who we work with

We’re here for young people when life gets tough – empowering them to move forward in their lives. They may need our support for a variety of reasons:

  • Poor wellbeing
  • Low self-esteem
  • High absence levels
  • Disengaged from school and learning
  • At risk of exclusion
  • Involved in risky behaviour

I have been able to go up to Oliver comfortably and talk to him. I didn’t know him at all before.

I have been more mature and know what to do in certain situations which I did not know before. It’s easier to actually be in a lesson and get my work done and I manage this better now.

I found that I was always happier when I went to the [Power2 Thrive sessions]. I was always smiling and honestly it cheered me up if I was having a bad day.

The Power2 team is the primary reason we want to continue and grow this. They get us and haven’t given up.

Power2 Thrive has supported the young people who have struggled with attendance or had problems fitting in. It has allowed them to grow and become more self-aware and positive about themselves.

Lynn Shaw
Inclusion Manager at Denton Community College

Thank you Power2 team for everything you have done with my daughter, the difference in her attitude and confidence is massive. I can’t thank you enough, you’ve given me my daughter back.

I think the biggest part of development for us has been the confidence and communication levels of our children. Seeing them interacting with their mentor each week has been magical.
