“Don’t just deliver wellbeing. Grow it.”
YouthShoots was founded on a simple belief: young people deserve more than being told what they should do to support their wellbeing, they deserve the opportunity to understand themselves, develop practical strategies they can use in everyday life, have their voices genuinely heard, and play an active role in shaping the communities around them.
That is why young people are at the heart of everything we do. At YouthShoots, we do not simply talk to young people about change, we empower them to create it, giving them the tools, confidence, and opportunities to make a meaningful difference in their own lives and the world around them.

YouthShoots is not a one-off wellbeing workshop, it is designed with a pupil-led focus to keep the impact growing. Because wellbeing should become part of school culture, not just something that happens on a training day.
Interactive, age-appropriate sessions that make complex subjects understandable, relevant and memorable. Through discussion, activities and real-world examples, young people are encouraged to explore ideas, reflect on their experiences and develop skills they can apply in everyday life.
Young people are given meaningful opportunities to share their views, contribute ideas and take action on issues that matter to them. Their perspectives help shape conversations, projects and solutions, ensuring they feel listened to, valued and empowered.
Resilience Reps help take learning beyond the pupils who attended the training. By sharing key messages, leading initiatives and encouraging participation, they become positive role models who help create a culture of wellbeing and resilience across the wider school community.
Propagation Packs provide schools with ready-to-use activities, presentations and supporting materials that reinforce key learning. Designed for flexibility and ease of use, they help staff and students continue important conversations long after the training has ended.
Development Calls give young people the opportunity to refine their ideas, overcome challenges and celebrate progress. This ongoing support helps maintain enthusiasm, build confidence and ensure positive momentum continues between sessions.
Schools and Trusts receive clear evidence of engagement, learning and outcomes. Our reporting demonstrates participation, highlights successes and provides valuable insights that can support wellbeing strategies, enrichment programmes and wider school improvement objectives.
We work closely with each school or Trust to understand its unique context, priorities and challenges. This allows us to tailor programme content, delivery methods and support resources so that every experience is relevant, purposeful and aligned with local needs and strategic goals.
