The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileAs a charity, we are passionate about enabling individuals to live a fulfilling life, fuelled by self-belief. We offer tools and inspiration to move forward with a sense of purpose, primarily I can achieve and I am of value. Time on board our double decker bus provides a combination of hands on cooking (of pizza or bread) with workshops that further embed our messages. We all have a balloon of self-belief inside us; when its full, life tends to be good, we bounce back from setbacks, we feel we have purpose. When its deflated, life becomes a struggle. Our mission is to enable those we work with to recognise their own balloon, and give them the tools to keep it inflated. The strength of this message is that its simple. To enable us to continue this great work, we need to raise funds to cover the running costs of the bus. As a charity, weve always provided our time within state schools free of charge with significant discounts available to independent schools when budgets are limited. Take a look at this 2 minute clip of the bus in action.

"The I Can and I Am team leave an indelible mark on a school community. They are inspirational. Pizzas hook the children in, but what follows is profound, life-enhancing and not often found in a school curriculum. This is real learning. This is real education.
Titus Mills, Headmaster, Port Regis School
"The bus gave us the luxury of time for pupils to bake bread and also to think about their wellbeing in a really engaging space, so different from their normal day. This package, together with James's talk, was perfect. I've had a line of parents, particularly from the most vulnerable and challenging pupils, saying thank you!"
Chris Chorley, Headmaster, St Vigor & St John C Of E School
