Commissioners
We collaborate with a range of commissioners to deliver evidence-based programmes that reduce school exclusions, reach young people overwhelmed by emotionally based school avoidance and improve mental wellbeing.
Our work with commissioners
The success of our Power2 Rediscover programme firmly planted Power2 in the one-to-one intensive support space. We’re regularly commissioned by local authorities in London, the Midlands and the North West of England to work with children and young people who are experiencing a wide range of vulnerabilities and disadvantages.
Our programmes can be adapted and tailored to your service’s needs

Children and young people’s mental health services
Violence reduction units
Virtual schools
We work with local authorities to offer wraparound support that fits into the bigger picture, working alongside social workers, carers, teachers and other professionals to help care-experienced young people feel seen, supported and able to succeed.
Examples of our work with a range of commissioners
The SAFE Taskforce
With government funding, we work in schools across Manchester and Southwark, providing intensive one-to-one support to improve the wellbeing and school engagement of young people who are at risk of criminal exploitation.
Another Chance
With funding from Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit, we work with young people aged 14-25 who are involved in or are at risk of engaging in crime. They are offered the programme as an alternative to engaging in criminal activity and violence.
RootED
In collaboration with Social Finance and Cheshire West and Chester Council, we delivered an innovative pilot called RootED to transform outcomes for children and young people at risk of school exclusion across three secondary schools in Ellesmere Port through tailored one-to-one mentoring.
Emotionally Based School Avoidance
We were commissioned by the London Boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark to deliver their pilot programmes, supporting young people who are experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance to re-engage with their education.
Summer Jobs
We support young people aged 16 to 20 who face barriers to employment by supporting them through tailored worked experience placements. The programme aims to reduce youth violence by creating structured opportunities that build confidence and skills.
