WALKING WITH OUR MENTEES
UDEVELOP ARE WORKING WITH SECONDARY SCHOOLS TO HELP SUPPORT PUPILS WITH A MENTORING PROGRAMME
UDevelop have been working with pupils in secondaries from disadvantaged backgrounds for the past 5 years. Since the pandemic started we didn’t want to lose connection with these targeted groups and have continued working with the individuals setting goals and achieving some fabulous results from fundraising for Cancer charities to supporting the young people with their new walking challenges. We feel at UDevelop it is key to walk and talk and we find that these individuals prefer to talk whilst we are out and about around Lancashire. We have used methods of mindfulness to help balance the individuals but also get creative whilst being out and about. The individuals have been understanding about cherishing “the moment”. Some of these pictures were the moments that they wanted to document.
We have also covered the 5 ways to wellbeing, diet, sleep deprivation and work well with our individuals to provide some of the best opportunities for them. We have recently had a call with a local plumber to discuss his role to one of our learners and it really helps inspire them. He is now wanting to gain an apprenticeship at the end of school so he can work towards being a Plumber. Next week we are talking with a Veterinary nurse.
If you are from an educational setting and work with individuals that need support or in need of just a boost of new skills and confidence then get in touch with us.
We can create bespoke programmes to suit your learners and work to adapt programmes so that every school gets a bespoke service with some of the best innovative outcomes.
