Empowerment Projects
Community-driven initiatives for personal growth and connection.
Level-Up Career Development Programme
The Level-Up project is Hidden Me CIC’s flagship programme, designed to equip young people aged 16–25 leaving care or facing hidden disadvantages with the confidence, skills, and resilience they need to thrive.
Developed hand-in-hand with local care homes, young people, and community partners, the programme combines mentoring, workshops, and real-life project management opportunities to build independence, improve mental health, and open pathways into education, training, and employment.
Participants gain practical life skills such as budgeting, problem-solving, and teamwork, while also receiving vital emotional support in safe, stigma-free spaces. The programme culminates in a youth-led community event, where young people put their learning into practice, showcasing their growth and building lasting peer networks.
By empowering young people to step into their potential, Level-Up is helping to create stronger, safer, and more inclusive communities — with reduced risks of isolation, unemployment, and crime.
This project is delivered in partnership with the National Fostering Agency (NFA), and proudly supported by funding from the National Lottery and match contributions.
