Life and Confidence Coach Karen Hughes (left) is based in Trimdon and recently set up a positive living/social group at the Pioneering Care Centre in Newton Aycliffe.
She has delivered various confidence and self esteem building courses over the last couple of years for the PCP and recently decided to set up the group.
Carol told Newton News: “I’ve found the men that attend my courses are often in the minority, often don’t have massive circles of friends and have become quite isolated from society. With this in mind I’ve decided to set up a dedicated separate group to help and support men who find themselves in those situations”.
Karen has noticed there seems to be lots of female orientated activities but not so much for men so she is hoping the new course will be supported.
Assisting her is Lee Brown 34, from Chilton. After going through a period of low confidence and self esteem Lee attended some of the programmes through the Colour Your Life project and met a group of like minded people.
After completing the 10 week SHINE programme and some Life Coaching sessions Lee’s self esteem and confidence has grown and he now has evolved as a person and is ready to give something back to the community.
The first session of EVOLVE will run on Friday the 27th of May from 1 – 2.30pm, people can contact me on 07585 553027 to reserve their place or email evolvegroup2016@gmail.com
