Power2

The RootED pilot programme provided vital one-to-one mentoring across three secondary schools to young people at risk of school exclusion in Ellesmere Port.

One of the young people who participated said:

"They help you a lot with what you’re struggling with, and if you need help, they’re right there with you. I think the reason my confidence is so big is because of Power2."

🚴 One of our trustees Troels Henriksen took on an extraordinary cycling challenge across Africa on a Brompton fold-up bike in support of Power2.

Over the course of the journey, Troels cycled 3,000 km and climbed more than 20,000 metres.

A huge thank you to Troels, the distance you’ve travelled will help more young people discover what they're capable of, build confidence in themselves and create brighter futures.

We recently received some lovely feedback from the school staff at St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School about our Power2 Energise programme.

“The young people interacted very well with the children. It was clearly visible that some of the younger children could be a little shy, yet they definitely came out of their shell and enjoyed being around the young people. It was definitely a wonderful experience for everyone.”
