Building Confidence & Resilience in Young People
Who we are
Life & Soul is a local charity in Tunbridge Wells working with children and young people aged 9-18. We deliver one-to-one mentoring and resilience workshops in primary and secondary schools.
Our Vision
Our Vision is that every child and young person would love their uniqueness and be confident in their own voice and place in the world.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to provide early intervention services that enable young people to explore who they are, what is right for them and to confidently pursue their chosen path in life.
The Challenge We Face
1 in 5
children and young people in England have a mental health problem, but only a third were able to access treatment in 2023. And waiting for support often leads to worse mental health for the individuals.*
Children and young people’s mental health services now accounts for
over £1 billion
of NHS spending annually in England.*
Schools and colleges can
promote and protect
children and young people’s mental health.
They can do this by building mental health literacy, creating supportive and inclusive environments and offering early targeted mental health support.*
However, schools are over-whelmed and under-resourced, struggling to meet the need.
We Help Bridge the Gap
We provide trained staff and volunteers who work directly with pupils to:
- Deliver early, targeted support
- Build mental health literacy
- Work alongside the existing welfare support
Completely free. No school or pupil excluded due to budget constraints.
Our Impact
479 children and young people supported this year
My daughter has just completed your six week course and I wanted to thank you so much for what can only be described as a transformational course. She love it – the topics were on point, she was able to be creative (which she loves) and she came home visibly more confident and happy as a result.
We have seen a huge turnaround in one of our students who now has a great circle of friends.
My son found the experience life-changing. Since working with Unlimited he is able to cope with difficult relationships at school and deal with any anxieties that arise. His confidence has grown and he has really come to know, understand and accept himself thanks to the sessions.
