This project builds on our Mindful Movers CORE run walk talk offer.

Our focus is to offer people living with mental health opportunity to access accredited qualifications delivered by people with lived experience, building on the positive peer support environment Mindful Movers is known for.

Making Strides offers Level 1 and Level 2 accredited programmes through The Leadership Skills Foundation

All of which build the 5 key skills identified by employers;

• Self-management
• Problem solving
• Teamwork
• Communication
• Self-confidence

You do not have to be a super sporty person to access our courses. We will be doing a range of activities to complete the qualification from problem solving games through to activities participants are interested in, such as walking or team games.

As a learner you'll develop an evidence record of your learning. There is also a large element of practical activities and evidencing learning through observation.

Some support can be offered by the tutor team to help youi whilst you complete your learner paperwork.

You'll complete activities in teams and there will be some group work involved in sessions. As you build confidence you'll take or more responsibility to plan and lead sessions and build your leadership skills.

Moving back into education, training or employment can be a huge leap if you have / are experiencing emotional wellbeing difficulties. Mindful Movers will offer you a safe and inclusive first step, where you can access practical focused qualifications delivering transferable skills. The foundations laid down by these qualifications will offer you the platform to move onto new opportunities such as volunteering, paid employment, further education & training.

You will stride towards to new horizons!

To register your interest in the course, please give us a call on 07742 428216 or use the contact us page on this website to send us a message.

Our tutor Rachel will then get in touch to arrange a short 1:1 meeting with you. At this meeting we'll complete our registration form together and find out a little more about what you'd like to get from the course.

After this meeting if you and the tutor are happy the course is right for you, we'll send out your place confirmation and joining instructions (venue information, timings, what you'll need to bring etc) ready for you to start your course.
