Our approach
A simple theory of change: Reach → Learn → Coach → Thrive.
Reach
We meet young people where they are — schools, leaving-care teams, online.
Learn
They take free Life University courses built around real survival skills.
Coach
1-to-1 coaching, online or in person, from people who’ve been there.
Thrive
Stable housing, work or study, confidence and connection.
Ways to partner

Sponsor a group of young people through a full six-week coaching journey.
Sponsor a Life University course
Put your name on a course and keep it free for every young person who takes it.
Council / Local Authority commissioning
Commission Positive Plugz for your care leavers and at-risk 11–25s.
Corporate volunteering & work placements
Offer work placements, mentoring or skills workshops to our young people.
