Co-op Academy Portland recently received wellbeing and resilience sessions from The Hive Youth Zone, in Birkenhead!
The award winning charity has a well equipped youth centre offering a variety of clubs, sports, mentoring, counselling and family gatherings.
Its state-of-the-art space is for young people aged 8-19, offering experiences and opportunities that they might not find elsewhere.
The 5 weekly sessions, known as ‘The Lemonade Project’, were delivered in Co-op Academy Portland, Co-op Academy Bebington and Co-op Academy Woodslee by Ella, a colleague from The Hive.
“The Lemonade Project is an initiative of Shared Health Foundation with the aim of building resilience in young people who are experiencing low levels of emotional wellbeing.
It is part of Shared Health Foundation’s wider strategy to improve mental health support for adolescents.
Our resources and training are perfect to help schools meet new PSHE requirements.” - The Lemonade Project
Mr Jenkins, Senior Leader: Behaviour and Pastoral from Co-op Academy Portland, said:
“The Lemonade Project was a great opportunity for our children to develop their social and emotional skills. The children loved the opportunity and really warmed to the staff who were leading the workshop.”
