Parents, we’d love to hear your story. ❤️

Is your young person withdrawing from school, friendships or the outside world — and finding it difficult to engage with education or support?

At Progeny, we’re exploring The Bridge — a new way of gently reaching young people who aren’t yet ready to come to us.

Before we build it, we want to listen to parents.

What happened? What helped? What didn’t? And what do you wish someone had offered earlier?

Your experience could help us shape a better way forward for young people and families.

Parents helping shape The Bridge. ❤️

A huge congratulations to Adam, one of our past students, who has just become World Champion in Powerlifting!💪

A great reminder that achievement doesn’t always look like exam results or academic success.

Everyone has a gift - for some, it’s academia. For others, it’s creativity, sport, leadership, practical skills or something completely unique.

✨ Sometimes, success is simply about finding yours. ✨

𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠… 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. 💪🏽

Adam now returns home as the reigning World, British and Commonwealth Champion, with new British records and another silver medal as part of Team GB’s second-placed men’s Sub-Junior squad.

From his first competition at 14 to number one in the world at 17 — this is some achievement for the young Dunloy lifter.

The painting continues in preparation for the opening of Progeny Primary Hub! What incredible talent these young artists have!

🌟 Our Primary Hub is coming together! 🌟
We’ve been busy getting everything ready for September, and a huge thank you to Hillside Community Church for embracing our vision and welcoming us to host the Progeny Primary Hub.
Our artists were hard at work last night creating a warm, welcoming space for the little ones who will be joining us in September! 🎨💛
If you have a child or young person who has experienced EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance), or you are a home-educating family looking for community and/or a Christian ethos, we’d love to hear from you.
At Progeny, we help young people reconnect with relationships, learning, healing and hope.

WE DID IT! 🏔️💪
Yesterday our amazing team took on the Seven Sevens Challenge in the Mournes to fundraise for Progeny - and what a day it was!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported us, donated, encouraged us, shared our posts and cheered us on. ❤️

It was tough, tiring and definitely a challenge — but our team kept going and everyone did so well!

We also want to acknowledge God’s hand in the weather - many were praying for perfect conditions for the walk and that’s exactly what we got! 🙌🙏

Every donation helps Progeny support young people who have faced challenging life experiences. We’re a registered charity and all proceeds will be used to fund our tuition hubs and counselling/mentoring services.

It’s not too late to donate!
If you’d still like to support our challenge, every donation makes a difference.

🌿🥕 There's something very rewarding about harvesting what you've grown!
Last week, our young people enjoyed gathering the vegetables and herbs they planted earlier in the year as part of our gardening project.

A huge thank you to Valerie and Victoria from for sharing their time, knowledge and encouragement throughout the project.❤️

From planting tiny seeds to harvesting fresh produce, our students have learned so much about teamwork, patience and caring for God's creation. 🪴🌿🪻

We called into Kingsbarn Farm Northern Ireland at the weekend to support one of our Progeny families at their pop-up shop.

The quality of the meat is excellent 👌- unfortunately my cooking isn’t good enough to post any photos 😂but if you get the chance, we'd definitely recommend visiting their next pop-up shop!

It was also great to catch up with Adam, one of our former students, and hear how well he's doing. We love to hear how our young people are getting on when they’ve moved on from us!😍
