Outwood Academy Freeston
TCD runs weekly Luke’s Lads and Butterflies sessions at Outwood Freeston, supporting students aged 12–14. These sessions focus on promoting positive mental health, building confidence, and creating a safe space where young people can share their thoughts and feelings.
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive:
• “Luke’s Lads has helped me talk about things I usually keep to myself. It’s made me feel less alone.” — Student
• “Butterflies has given me more confidence. I feel like I can speak up more now.” —
