Life Shed
The Life Shed is a tried and tested mentoring programme for young people who find the school environment challenging. We provide a space where children and teenagers who struggle to engage and achieve can find support from experienced, professional mentors who are skilled at managing behaviour, building positive relationships, and enabling social and emotional development.
Our aim is to help young people grow in confidence, independence, and self-belief so that they can become the best that they can be in a truly holistic sense.
We offer bespoke Emotional Regulation Mentoring Programmes (ERMP) at the Life Shed facility in Shrewsbury, in school and through a range of outdoor activities designed to best meet each student’s needs.
