In December 2020 Head Held High won funding from Comic Relief to run its challenging and motivational online programme Stand up for Yourself with a group of adults associated with the charity Mind.
Anti-social behaviour, limited self-belief and lack of motivation can lead to poor education, unstable interpersonal relationships and unemployment. We aim to tackle these issues at their source using preventative measures.
We offer unique, interactive and highly motivational workshops using our tried and tested approach. We have already empowered over 1000 individuals to transform their lives for the better in the areas of education, increased well-being and employment.
Head Held High is a social enterprise founded in 2013. We have run over 60 programmes working with young people at risk of exclusion, care leavers, long term unemployed, lone parents, and ex-offenders. We have unlimited scalability due to our growing team of part-time coaches who are trained in running courses remotely or in person.

'Signing Off' Programme
Our programmes offer a unique, interactive, and transformational approach in order to help individuals take full responsibility, stay every day determined, and break through destructive lifestyle patterns. This in turn inspires participants to achieve their life goals in education and employability, improve interpersonal skills, and find self-actualisation so that they can lead lives based on who they truly are.
"Tash Alexander not only a career motivator but a life coach of sorts. I've never met a work mentor with such drive, positive feedback and a caring nature. It's like being with the friend you need when you are feeling lost or down."

"This programme has helped our students who were finding it difficult to stay focused on their study programme at the Centre for Business, Art and Technology. They have built up resilience, how to focus, group work and a couple of them also found part time work."

Thanks to the funding of the Social Switch Project we are now able to offer The Best You Programme over Zoom.
