Families, education, charities and prisons
Roy works with people and the families and organisations around them. Through mentorship, group work and speaking, Iron Minds helps create opportunities for connection, positive choices and lasting change.
People at the heart of the work
01
Roy works directly with families who want a positive influence and support for someone they care about. One-to-one mentorship offers space to build trust, talk about challenges and work towards practical goals. The starting point is a conversation about your family and what you hope could change.
02
Roy works with education settings and schools to support young people through mentorship, group work and talks. His approach creates another way to connect, encouraging engagement, self-belief and positive choices. Discuss the needs of your pupils and how the work could sit alongside your existing support.
03
Roy works with charities supporting young people, bringing a personal, relationship-led approach to their work. Mentorship, shared activity and honest conversations can provide a way to engage young people and help them take positive steps. Start with the people you support and the aims of your project.
04
Roy works with prisons, drawing on lived experience to connect with people thinking about change. Mentorship and speaking create space to discuss responsibility, setbacks and building a different future. Work is discussed with the prison team around the people involved and the requirements of the setting.
Speaking and shared understanding
Roy also delivers talks and speaking engagements for local authorities, charities, the police and prisons. His lived experience brings a personal perspective to conversations about choices, change and the importance of positive role models.
Whether the audience is people receiving support or those working alongside them, discuss the purpose of the event, who will attend and what you want the conversation to explore.
