The Mindful Ventures Programme, launched in 2024 delivered in partnership between Poetic Unity and Save the Children, supports young people to turn their ideas into viable businesses and social ventures while placing mental health and wellbeing at the heart of the entrepreneurial journey. Over six weeks, participants work closely with experienced entrepreneurs, business leaders and industry experts, gaining practical knowledge in areas such as business planning, marketing, finance, leadership and pitching. Throughout the programme, young people develop and refine their own business ideas while building the skills and confidence needed to bring them to life. What sets Mindful Ventures apart from traditional enterprise programmes is its focus on mental health. Recognising that entrepreneurship can often lead to stress, burnout, and isolation, the programme equips participants with tools to support their wellbeing, including poetry, creative expression, self-reflection, and other wellbeing practices that can be used throughout their careers. The programme culminates in a live pitch event, where participants present their ventures to a panel of experts and have the opportunity to secure cash prizes, mentoring, and other forms of support to help launch and grow their businesses sustainably.
