What we can support
We work upstream: with groups who are doing broadly alright and would do better with something positive in the week. We are not a crisis service, and we will say so if a young person needs more than we offer.
- Youth wellbeing
- Confidence building
- Creative expression
- Movement and active wellbeing
- Teamwork
- Community connection
Delivery formats
Five shapes, and the last one exists because the first four will not fit everybody.
-
One-off workshop
A single session. Often a taster, an enrichment day or something to mark an occasion.
-
4–6 week programme
Long enough for a group to settle and for a facilitator to know the room.
-
8–12 week programme
A full term of delivery, with a written report at the end of it.
-
Holiday provision
Sessions during the school holidays, when structure is hardest to come by.
-
Bespoke partnership
Something built with you, for when none of the above is the right shape.
Why work with Benzone
-
Safeguarded delivery
Everyone in the room is recruited safely, DBS-checked where the role requires it, and trained in safeguarding.
-
Inclusive activities
Sessions are built so a young person who finds one part hard still has something they can do well.
-
Structured programmes
A plan for every session, rather than an activity chosen on the morning.
-
Flexible formats
A single workshop or a full term, in your hall, your classroom or a community venue.
-
Defined outcomes
Agreed with you at the start, so the report at the end answers the question you asked.
-
Monitoring and evaluation
We record what we did and what we observed, and we are careful about what we claim from it.
-
Community-led approach
We are based in Rhondda Cynon Taf and we work here. Sessions are shaped by the group in front of us.
Our safeguarding commitment, and how to raise a concern, are set out in full on our safeguarding page.
How it works
-
Talk to us
Tell us your group, your setting and what you are hoping to shift.
-
We propose
A format, a length, the outcomes we will work towards, and a cost.
-
We deliver
Safeguarded sessions, run by trained facilitators, in your setting.
-
We report
What we did, what we observed, and what participants said about it.
What it costs
Cost depends on the format, the size of the group and what the sessions need in materials and staffing, so we quote per programme rather than publishing a price list. You will get a figure with the proposal, and we will tell you what it includes before you commit to anything.
If we are not the right fit, we will say so. Pointing you at an organisation that suits your group better is more use to you than winning the work.
Discuss a programme for your setting
Tell us the group and the setting, and we will come back with what we think fits. Nothing here commits you to anything.
Due diligence
Everything a school or commissioner usually asks for before booking:
- Our full safeguarding policy, on request. Ask in the form and we will send it.
- Our registration on the public record at Companies House, company number 15874908.
- How we are governed, and what a community interest company is, on our governance page.
