Life skills Education

Developing Life Skills

Our support often includes a range of practical, real-world activities designed to help children and young people develop essential life skills, while building their confidence, resilience, and ability to stay safe in the community.

These activities are tailored to individual needs and may include:

• Travel training
• Shopping trips and using money
• Accessing local amenities such as parks, gyms, or other community spaces
• Preparing for and planning activities
• Problem-solving and decision-making in real-life situations
• Basic financial awareness
• Learning how to keep safe in different environments
• Following a route using maps or digital tools
• Timekeeping and managing a simple schedule

These experiences support greater independence and help young people build the practical skills they need for everyday life—both now and in the future.
