Launch Pad

Introducing Launch Pad, our new Thursday afternoon group.

Designed for home-educated young people and those in alternative provision, Launch Pad offers a calm, supportive space where teens can connect, build confidence, and develop social skills.

These sessions are open to all but are especially suited to young people who feel anxious or find mainstream social settings challenging. Spaces are limited to ensure a nurturing, individualised experience.

If your child could use a soft landing during the week—a place to recharge, make friends, and grow in independence—this could be the perfect launch point.
