BOBS Skills

Health + Creativity + Community = Wellbeing

BOBS Skills has been developed from our Being Our Best Selves programme, which we first piloted in 2019 and we have been delivering sessions in schools and Further Education settings since January 2022.

Our current delivery model is entirely flexible, offering bespoke BOBS Skills activity in secondary and FE settings, responding directly to needs and budget. This could be anything from a series of sessions for a whole year group to targeted groups of students, facing specific challenges.

The Aims

The BOBS Skills programme tackles real and significant challenges which are faced by growing number of young people, particularly in the light of pandemic experiences, including:

Lost/disrupted learning
Low self-esteem and confidence
Poor social skills
Lack of resilience
Mental and physical health pressures
Concerns for the future as a consequence of both the pandemic and climate change
Lack of vocational and practical skills and meaningful encounters with employers.

Crucially, the sessions are interactive and engaging, celebrating individuality and nurturing a strong sense of self and awareness of what we can all do to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

Each session is led by a team of trained BOBS Coaches, bringing a variety of personalities, skills and experiences ranging from the arts, sports, community and public sectors.
