1. To create supportive, positive environments and opportunities for young people that nurture their wellbeing and potential and develop their skills and employability. Building Me delivers practical skill development programmes which run consistently through the year, providing structure for participants where there is sometimes limited structure
in home lives. Positivity is always encouraged and is a key theme of the sessions. There is a wide-ranging number of activities planned over the year which focus on a variety of personal development aspects. E.G. A large focus is on practical skills development in the key sectors which may provides jobs in the future – hospitality, tourism, conservation and creative skills. Building Me delivers a Business Development Programme where participants design and develop a range of products for tourists to buy involving the exploration of visitors to the area and an understanding of their needs and aspirations. There is a focus on sustainability and encouraging the participants’ vision to build in a charitable dimension to their business model. Health and wellbeing are key issues therefore health and nutrition modules are incorporated into the training programme. The Building Me training programme also focuses on mental health through enabling participants to explore the nurturing of positive mental health and building skills and confidence to address bullying situations both on and offline.
