Disruptors: New Programme for 16-18s Launches with the Help of the Amy Winehouse Foundation

 
JLGB’s latest programme, Disruptors, has officially launched, and it’s already making waves as a game-changer for 16-18-year-olds! With the incredible support of the Amy Winehouse Foundation, this empowering initiative kicked off with an exciting event in North West London, bringing together teens ready to learn, grow, and disrupt the status quo.
 
The Launch Event
Held on Sunday, 3rd November, the Disruptors launch welcomed young people from across the country for an unforgettable afternoon. Special guest speakers from the Amy Winehouse Foundation included their head trainer, who delivered a powerful session on resilience and motivation.
 
The event marked the beginning of a transformative journey, introducing participants to a year-long programme designed to equip them with the skills and tools they need to navigate life’s challenges.
 
The First Local Meet-Ups
Following the launch, Disruptors hosted its first round of local meet-ups in Essex, Hertfordshire, North London, Leeds, and Manchester. These sessions provided teens with an inspiring and interactive environment to explore topics like:
 
💡 Discovering Your Strengths – Reflecting on challenges you’ve overcome and recognising the strengths you already have.
🌟 The GROW Model – A practical coaching tool to help set goals, solve problems, and plan for the future.
🤝 Connecting and Inspiring – Sharing positive feedback and building confidence through peer support.
 
These initial sessions set the stage for an impactful year of learning, growth, and connection.
 
What’s Next?
The Disruptors programme continues with monthly meet-ups across the UK. Upcoming sessions will feature expert guest speakers and interactive workshops on topics that matter most to young people, including:
 
💡 Building resilience and self-confidence.
🤝 Managing relationships and social life.
🌟 Navigating life’s challenges with clarity and focus.
 
With a focus on creating a fun, social environment, Disruptors isn’t just a programme—it’s a supportive community where teens can connect, grow, and thrive together.
