For many young people, traditional classroom based education doesn't work, whether that's because of Nuerodiversity, Learning Difficulties, Mental Health issues or other Special Educational Needs.
At Coach and Train, we create a friendly and supportive atmosphere, where individuals feel safe, focusing on building a relationship of equals who work and grow together to learn new skills - academic, business, life, social, and physical.
Our programmes are structured to last an academic term, and comprise a morning of learning followed by an afternoon activity designed to challenge and build character.
Improving the journey, as well as helping reach a better destination.
In partnership with Surrey Fire Service, this programme focuses on group activities and self reflection to build resilience.

From looking at why charities exist, to coming up with a fundraising idea, publicising and running the event, including using social media and basic bookkeeping skills, this real world challenge connects individuals with their local community, and gives them experience of what it takes to complete a project.
When day to day life is filled with anxiety, stress and a feeling of being overwhelmed and out of control, learning to manage those emotions and not be debilitated is key.
Practising in a safe environment, with the support of staff and your cohort, young people are able to slowly build confidence and challenge themselves to travel further.
Knowing that everyone feels overwhelmed at the bottom of an obstacle, but learning to 'trust the harness' combined with the exhilaration of completing the challenge, provides exactly the experience and confidence that is needed to manage day to day life more effectively.
