Our Programmes

Providing Everything You Need

Empower2Confidence

Empower2Confidence is designed for young people who need support with self-belief, emotional regulation, and confidence. Through 1:1 mentoring, group workshops, and guided reflection activities, we help learners understand their emotions, develop a positive sense of self, and build personal resilience. Sessions include confidence-building exercises, journaling, movement and creative expression to help young people reconnect with who they are, not who they’ve been told to be.

We work through themes such as self-worth, managing stress, understanding emotions, personal strengths, and building healthy relationships. Whether a young person is struggling with anxiety, low confidence, or the pressure of expectation, Empower2Confidence gives them the tools to understand themselves and feel emotionally “safe” enough to try again, both in education and in life.

Empower2Engage

Empower2Engage supports young people who have disengaged from school or whose attendance has declined due to emotional or behavioural challenges. Instead of sitting them behind a desk, we reintroduce learning through creative workshops, practical tasks, project-based learning, movement, and outdoor experiences. The goal is to rebuild a positive relationship with learning by making it hands-on, fun and relevant.

Young people explore creative arts, design, media, dance, fitness and teamwork activities that help them rediscover curiosity and capability. The programme balances structure with flexibility, allowing every learner to achieve small, meaningful wins, which gradually increases motivation and readiness to return to structured education.

Empower2Thrive

Empower2Thrive delivers targeted SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) support for young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma, or emotionally based school attendance (EBSA). Through trauma-informed mentoring, emotional coaching, and wellbeing interventions led by qualified SEMH practitioners, we help young people understand their triggers and develop self-regulation tools.

This programme provides a safe space to talk, reflect, and practice coping strategies such as grounding techniques, mindfulness, breathwork, or movement-based stress release. The focus is to stabilise emotional wellbeing, reduce crises, and help the young person feel capable of navigating school, relationships, and life outside of Empower MCR.

Empower2Achieve

Empower2Achieve combines academic learning with real-world skills. Young people receive structured online English and Maths support (taught by qualified tutors and teaching assistants) alongside vocational tasters such as fitness coaching, childcare modules, creative arts, dance, or media skills. This keeps learning purposeful, active, and connected to future opportunities.

The programme provides structure and progress tracking, ensuring every learner achieves measurable outcomes, whether that’s returning to mainstream school, preparing for assessment, or working toward accreditation. We prioritise progress, not pressure: small wins built over time lead to big changes in how young people see themselves as learners.

Empower2Progress

Empower2Progress focuses on what comes next, reintegration, further education, employment, training, or volunteering. We build personalised progression plans with clear goals and help young people develop life skills such as time management, communication, career planning and interview confidence. Each learner leaves with a clear, realistic pathway and the confidence to move forward.

We work collaboratively with schools, colleges, community organisations and families to ensure a smooth transition. Where appropriate, young people are supported during reintegration meetings, interviews, or first days back in education or training. Empower2Progress ensures that success doesn’t stop at engagement, it leads to lasting progression.
