It’s more than just making things. We are teaching skills, raising aspirations and ultimately doing something great to support young people!

Young people are falling through the gaps.

Schools are under increasing pressure.
Timetables are full. Budgets are stretched.

Enrichment, creativity and personal development are often the first things to go.

At the same time, employers are facing a growing skills gap — with many young people leaving education without the confidence, communication skills or real-world experience they need.

Mental health challenges only deepen the divide.

Our solution: turning creativity into skills for life and work.

We use creativity as the gateway — not the end goal.

Through hands-on making, design thinking and enterprise challenges, young people build:

  • confidence and self-belief

  • wellbeing and emotional resilience

  • communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills

  • All while working with reclaimed materials and real-world tools that connect learning to life beyond the classroom.

TESTIMONIALS

“The scheme was great for all aspects of students learning. All students came away with a sense of achievement and pride in their final products, which were all incredibly professional. All students, including those who dislike creative tasks and have trouble with fine motor skills, really enjoyed the experience and have not stopped talking about it. Staff that joined on the visit praised and enjoyed the week and all staff that have seen the end products have been amazed at the quality. Sami delivered the course appropriately for our students and has thought about how to tailor it to higher ability students with SEND.”
