Motivational talks

We believe that leadership starts with knowledge, confidence, and a strong sense of community. That’s why, with funding from Floating Counselling, LCP, and the NHS, we’re delivering a range of exciting, interactive workshops and talks for schools, youth groups, and community organisations across Croydon — with a focus in Park Hill, Woodside, Addiscombe East, and Shirley.

These workshops are being led by the young men who have graduated from our Mentoring 4 Mandem programme, turning their experiences into inspiration and practical guidance for others.

Whether you’re a teacher, youth worker, or community organiser, we’re here to help your group grow, thrive, and shine

Our Workshop Topics

We use storytelling and creative expression to help young people find their voice, explore ideas, build confidence, and share powerful stories rooted in their experiences. Ideal for schools and youth clubs wanting to inspire creativity, self-belief, and authentic expression.

Community Leadership

We talk about real-world leadership — how to speak up, get involved in local decision-making, run for youth council, or make a difference in your area. Perfect for schools or youth clubs wanting to boost confidence and civic pride.

Got an idea? We’ll guide participants through the basics of entrepreneurship — from coming up with a product or service to branding, marketing, and making your first sale.
