Skills, Confidence, & Qualifications for Life


Helping young people build essential life skills while gaining an accredited Arts Award qualification.

From Struggles to Strength

Wot Wud U Do was built for young people who often feel left out of the conversation — those who are misunderstood, unheard, or struggling with emotions they’ve never been taught how to handle.

We’ve been there too.

We know how overwhelming it can be to carry around frustration, anxiety, sadness, or confusion with no safe space to let it out.

That’s why we created something different.

At Wot Wud U Do, young people aren’t just participants — they’re leaders, creators, and change-makers.

Through our hands-on workshops, alternative education programmes, creative expression, and real conversations, we give young people the tools they need to:

  • Understand and regulate their emotions

  • Find and use their voice

  • Explore meaningful issues

  • Build confidence and life skills

We work alongside schools, colleges, local authorities, and community organisations to offer inclusive, engaging, and trauma-aware experiences that speak directly to the realities young people face today.

We’ve already reached hundreds of young people across Preston and beyond.

They’ve told their stories. Designed campaigns. Led workshops. Spoken up for their peers. And every time, we’ve seen what’s possible when young people are trusted, supported, and empowered.
