BOBS Skills

Health + Creativity + Community = Wellbeing

BOBS Skills has been developed from our Being Our Best Selves programme, delivering sessions in schools and further education settings since 2022. Most recently, we have expanded this programme to reach people seeking employment.

Our delivery model offers bespoke, flexible BOBS Skills sessions, responding directly to needs, and budgets and offering the opportunity to tailor sessions to targeted groups facing specific challenges.

Crucially, 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.

The Aims

The BOBS Skills programme tackles real and significant challenges which are faced by a growing number of people, including:

Lost/disrupted learning
Low self-esteem and confidence
Poor social skills
Lack of resilience
Mental and physical health pressures
Concerns for the future
Lack of vocational and practical skills and meaningful encounters with employers or professionals
