Our History

Starting in 2006, Shine was originally designed to promote self-esteem and confidence as a preventative for teen pregnancy. The last 13 years has seen The Shine Project develop its service into a comprehensive early intervention course promoting physical and mental health whilst retaining its focus on young women.

Beneficiaries

Children / Young People
We are an early intervention mental and physical health project that works with girls aged 11-14
Children / Young People
We are seeking to develop a boys course to reach boys aged 11-14

Our Vision for a better future

The Shine Project has a vital role to play in ensuring that every girl aged 11-14 is able to look after their physical and mental health. By participating in a Shine course we will give girls the tools to build confidence and happiness to lead a life free from anxiety and low self esteem

Our Work

50% of our 400 annual beneficiaries are able to live on their own without institutional care

30% of young adults are able to attend job related internship organised by us with our partners

All of our beneficiaries have a sense of security and care by attending our programmes, which again helps in the recovery process

Improved knowledge around eating disorders and healthy eating practices

Reduction of loneliness
Increased knowledge on emotional resilience and the management of strong emotions

Beneficiary Testimonials
