Proton Foundation have been able to train a school in Barwell to be a hub for their Flourish Project, which builds the ability to better understand and promote health and wellbeing. The two-day training event for school staff enabled them to run sessions in their own setting.
This grant has made a difference to the lives of 40+ young people so far, Proton Foundation has seen an average increase of 25% across all areas of mental wellbeing, self esteem and happiness of the young people participating. All of the young people involved found the sessions enjoyable; the school reported that the students, including the boys, supported each other in sharing difficult feelings and helped each other to look at the positives within themselves.
