life at no.27
England
Life at No.27 was formed in 2019, built with passion at its core and designed to
change lives. We understand that high levels of anxiety and a lack of confidence
brought on by difficult or confusing experiences can be one of the highest
hurdles to overcome. This can then begin a devastating spiral that can affect a
person’s life potential on many levels. The director, Annabelle Padwick has a
wide variety of skills, experience and qualifications relating to therapeutic
approaches to working with those struggling with anxiety, low confidence and
special educational needs. Ethos and approach We are committed to providing a
safe, inspiring and nurturing environment that can meet the needs of young
people who are struggling in a mainstream setting and adults in day to day life.
We are focused on identifying individuals whose anxiety and lack in confidence
can mean they are so often overlooked. We aim to empower people through a
variety of practical, outdoor and creative activities that not only teach
valuable and transferable skills, but that also have a meaningful and
therapeutic value. We will foster relationships based on compassion and
understand any behaviour is a form of communication of difficult thoughts and
feelings. Through this we can begin to help a person have a deeper insight of
themselves, which will develop and encourage emotional and social growth, whilst
increasing self-awareness. We will have a culture firmly rooted in the
therapeutic approach in order to provide reflection, space for growth and
support for the people accessing the service, their families and our growing
team. Meeting the need The organisation is a social enterprise which aims to
meet a very real and growing need. Sadly, mental health struggles are rising in
children and adults year on year. The current education system alongside the NHS
has been and will be under a great deal of pressure, with limited resources to
meet the needs of people who have complex needs and anxiety struggles. Often,
these individuals slip through the net or end up disengaged from school and
their wider network, which can have a devastating effect on their lives.
