Description: Power2 is a charity for disadvantaged youth. We have supported over 25,000 young people across the country since we were founded in 2001. Our purpose is to help young people from low-income backgrounds fulfil their potential by improving their mental and emotional wellbeing.
We focus on wellbeing because improving it substantially improves children’s educational engagement and attainment, and there is a strong link between disadvantage and poor wellbeing (DfE). However, Barnardo's found that 25% of teachers were not confident that their school had the tools and resources to support their pupils’ mental, emotional, and social wellbeing.
Power2 has the experience and expertise to help. We operate a number of programmes – in schools, in the community and now online – that target young people at the margins of the education system and at key transition points.
All our programmes are evidence-led, and designed to improve wellbeing, resilience, and interpersonal skills. Our early-intervention approach contrasts the traditional ‘wait to fail’ model. We improve our beneficiaries’ educational engagement, reduce their risk of exclusion, and help set foundations for their future happy, healthy lives.
We also aim to highlight the challenges our young people face and help them raise their voices on issues that matter to them. We provide platforms for our young people to give their views – both from our own events and those organised by other organisations – and encourage them to create their own.
