"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in"
Desmond Tutu
Too many young people are falling in the river.
Research on secondary schools shows that in each average class:
5 students are facing mental health challenges
5 students have special educational needs (SEND).
5 students start their day without breakfast.
8 students are disadvantaged.
Over 1.25 million young people had referrals to NHS mental health services
They need upstream intervention!
What we do
We empower young people through values-based coaching to lead their own lives and love learning.
Our tool, VIVA-GO, is evidence-based, quick, and fun.
How we do it
We train a coach for every school and organisation working with young people with an accredited Level 3 program, providing all resources, support, and supervision.
Through the 4Rs Cornerstones of Relationship, Responsibility, Resilience, and Reflection, we help bring hope and a future to young people.


Developed with the help of Oxford and Exeter universities, learners with significant needs, and young leaders.

Effective & Clear Coaching Tool
VIVA-GO takes little effort and time for great impact, to support children, young people, and adults.
In just thirty minutes, once a month (flexible), the coachee learns to approach challenges and opportunities with confidence using their own core values and strengths as motivation and compass.
VIVA-GO exists to encourage through values, empower through simple coaching steps and raise up people who can lead themselves and others. Created from 30 years of experience and backed by 8 years of research, development, and international trials, VIVA-GO has been the subject of an Oxford University Farmington Scholarship and Exeter Masters Action Research.
VIVA-GO is an evidence-based, early intervention tool that enables coachees to transform their:
Relationships
Healthy, positive connections with others.
Responsibility
Accountability with choices and actions for own goals.
Resilience
Strengthening the ability to cope with challenges and bounce back.
Reflection
Gain insight into own great values, vision and decisions with self-compassion.
