Train Forwards is born out of the
work from Don’t Tone Alone CIC a former social enterprise that spent over a
decade working across sectors in the UK.
The company ran projects that affected the lives of approximately
3,000 people each year with the greatest impact came from its 6-week training courses that enabled people from all backgrounds to live happier and healthier lives.
Taking the best of the training, we licence this to charities to elevate their impact while helping them generate an income.
The training gives people the life skills they need to look after their health and wellbeing, and can be used for their clients, commercial partnerships, or public engagement.
There are three core training programmes that run over 6-sessions:
Every body is unique. Our healthy eating course focuses on behavioural approaches to eating rather than telling them what to eat and when. This gives people the tools they need to make healthy choices and create a balanced diet that works for them.
Improved Attitudes to Food
Improved Confidence on Healthy Choices
Increased Peer Support
Being able to self-manage mental wellbeing is important, especially when faced with uncertainty. This course gives people the tools to regulate their emotions, effectively manage stressful circumstances, and become more resilient. These techniques create an impact for a lifetime.
Improved Mental Wellbeing
Improved ability to manage stress
Improved emotional regulation
We believe that enhanced wellbeing comes from the inside-out not the outside-in. This course uses a concentric model to build self-confidence starting from core beliefs to outward expression. The result, people grow in self-confidence, energised to explore their interests, and express themselves more fully.
Improved Self-Confidence
Improved resilience
Increased Motivation
