Overview
Our packs support KS2 and KS3 pupils to plan and deliver their very own mini social action project.
By the end of the pack they should feel empowered and positive about themselves and their achievements, recognising that, however young you are and whatever the situation, you can still make a difference to the world around you.
It includes core activities around staying positive, focusing on the things you can control, taking action to help improve your community and building self-esteem and self-confidence at a time when we know many pupils need it most.
