OUR PAIN 2 POWER


"The Relatable Support System"



Our Pain 2 Power is an alternative learning provision delivering programmes and workshops that reduce youth violence and vulnerability to criminal exploitation, build self-love and confidence, and equip young people with leadership and employability skills.


We aim to build young leaders and relatable role models within the community. Our beneficiaries are supported through a range of creative self-development workshops and preventive, tailored 1:1 mentorship, reducing vulnerability to youth violence, criminal exploitation, and gang culture influence.


Our mentors bring both professional expertise and intensive personal lived experience of the challenges young people face today. Having turned their own pain into power, they now stand as relatable role models and agents of change within their communities.


We showcase our mentors because they offer young people at risk real, living proof: people who have changed their lives for the better and are now making meaningful contributions to their communities.

It is well documented that adolescence can be a particularly challenging time for young people. Such challenges may include, although not limited to, greater social problems, emotional changes and educational challenges.


We know, that without the right support system, such challenges can have a significant impact on the psychological wellbeing of young people.
