Helping students who don't engage with mainstream
education
Often children with difficult backgrounds do not flourish in
school. They don't like school and have poor attendance records.
When they are at school their behaviour is difficult and they don't
fit in. After leaving school they may lack the confidence and
social skills to do well in the workplace.
Releasing Potential is a
charity based in Havant that runs programs with young people in
Hampshire, West Sussex and Portsmouth. These build their skills and
confidence so they have the opportunity to make better choices.
Through a variety of activities from sailing to orienteering we
reflect with them on their thinking, behaviour and the consequences
of that behaviour. Through one-to-ones, team building, group work
and residential courses we build a toolkit that the student can use
in challenging situations.
Our customised courses are tailored to the needs of a school, an
individual student or a group, providing activities from kayaking to orienteering to
camp craft. We run programmes over the school holidays for anyone
or any group who want to try a new activity, have some fun or gain
a new qualification. Call us on 02392 479762 and we can talk
through what might work for you or your organisation.
