ABOUT

What is Popcorn?

Popcorn is a unique initiative that creates a safe, welcoming space for young people to connect with others their own age. Over an 8-week programme of relaxed, facilitated sessions, Popcorners get the chance to build friendships, share experiences, and talk openly in a supportive environment. It’s a space to feel heard, gain confidence, and discover a real sense of belonging.

​

Why “Popcorn”?

The name Popcorn reminds us how important the right environment is for growth and self-expression.
Just like kernels need the right warmth and time to pop into their own unique shape, young adults also thrive when they’re given space, support, and encouragement to be themselves.
