Red Balloon Educational Trust

Mental health is a priority!

We believe wellbeing is just as important as learning!

Something to keep in mind as results day approaches!

At Red Balloon, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to flourish. National Opportunity Day is the perfect occasion to reaffirm our commitment to helping young people who are absent from education re-engage with the wider world.

National Opportunity Day - Red Balloon Learner Centres National Opportunity Day highlights the transformative power of new opportunities in education and personal growth.

Progress looks different for each individual student, and attainment is measured against their individual needs and the goals they set for themselves. Students may need a little extra support in their mental wellbeing, personal development or education to get them back to a place where they feel able to re-engage with their peers again.

Social re-engagement is all about helping young people re-engage with their peers and their communities!

Regular, ongoing support is the bedrock of funding that allows us to be flexible in our support of vulnerable students. It allows us to attend to an urgent need, wherever and whenever it crops up.

Your support matters and makes a difference across all our Centres!

Just because you can't see the progress doesn't mean it's not happening. It's easy to think of success as something we can measure or count, but growth can happen inside where things aren't quantifiable. At Red Balloon, we know that there are many ways to measure success and that's why we prioritise mental wellbeing as well as learning.

We know that Red Balloon positively impacts the lives of young people, but it's incredibly rewarding to hear about how it impacts parents and carers as well!

We've come a long way since our humble beginnings in 1996! To date, we've helped over 1300 young people re-engage with education.

Through engaging with Red Balloon, students can grow as individuals, restore their confidence, develop resilience, and build the skills they need to successfully handle returning to education, work, or further training.

Red Balloon helps young people who are absent from school re-engage in education. We want to see young people regain their enthusiasm for learning and help them progress into the wider world.

Curious about our negotiated curriculum? Here's a brief snapshot about what that means!

It’s not quite the summer holidays yet, but exam season is officially over! We are proud of all our young people who came in and sat through exams. For many of our learners, leaving the house to take a stressful test is an accomplishment in itself. On top of that, beating exam anxiety and successfully navigating through it is a big deal!

After the exams are over, it's important to recognize and celebrate your achievement!

Recharging After Exams - Red Balloon Learner Centres You've made it to the end of exam season! Congratulations on all of your hard work. Now, take some time to relax and recharge.
