​About Us
Rooted in lived experience. Driven by purpose
Stones Of Help C.I.C
is a newly formed community interest company based in Nottingham. We were created in response to the real and growing needs of vulnerable and at-risk young people in our city. Our vision is to build safe, empowering, and creative spaces where young people feel seen, heard, and supported.
While we’re still in the early stages, we are working with purpose and intent. We’re actively developing the foundations of our work from safeguarding policies and outreach strategies to partnerships and funding applications so we can launch programmes that truly make a difference.
Our name reflects what we stand for: being a steady source of support in difficult times, helping young people find stability and strength as they navigate life’s challenges.
Our Mission
​
Our mission is to prevent young people from falling through the cracks by creating spaces that are safe, creative, and rooted in care.
We are building:
-
Programmes that help protect young people from exploitation and harm
-
Mentoring relationships grounded in consistency and trust
-
Creative, youth-led sessions that allow self-expression, healing, and growth
We believe in early intervention, community connection, and the power of walking alongside young people not just telling them what to do, but creating the space for them to discover who they are.
Our Approach
At Stones Of Help, we take a trauma-informed, culturally aware, and relationship-based approach.
We’re not here to “fix” young people. We’re here to stand with them through creativity, through care, and through consistent presence. We understand the complexity of the challenges they face, from housing instability and mental health to social exclusion and the risk of exploitation.
Though our programmes are still being developed, our approach is clear: listen first, act with compassion, and never underestimate the potential of a young person who feels genuinely supported.
Our work is led by both professional experience and lived understanding. We are building something meaningful and we’re just getting started.
