    an incredible experience

    We have worked with BelEve in a variety of capacities over the last year – our year 9 and 10 students are currently taking part in their LeadHerShip programme, we have year 10s trained as Ravens, as well as having every class having taken part in a healthy relationship workshop with them. Every member of the team that has come and delivered sessions to our students has been friendly, approachable and able to differentiate for the variety of young people they are working with.

    The students are always engaged and feel comfortable enough to ask questions about what, at times, can be

    sensitive topics.
