  • P.A.V.E.
    Co-Founder
    P.A.V.E. Jun 2020 - Feb 2023
    Bristol, England, United Kingdom
    P.A.V.E. was created when two people (including myself) decided that they wanted to tackle the mental health problems that we see within the world, with our focus being on students from when they first enter the school system in KS1 until they graduate university. One of the best parts about our business is all profits are reinvested back into the business meaning we can support students even more. In our first few months we created a podcast called Real People, Honest Talks that aimed to break the social stigma around the conversations on mental health. Within 6 months we had built a team of passionate entrepreneurs ready to advance the business. As a team we created a mental health and wellbeing activity/story book for KS1 Children. We are got these workbooks into schools and received valuable feedback to prove that our books will have a the positive impact we assumed they would. We also started partnering with primary schools in the summer of 2021 and creating mental health and wellbeing resources for their students at their request.Alongside our other business activities we were in the process of creating a mental health and wellbeing app called My Self-Help for university student. We aimed for students to be the main voice and creators of resources within the platform as currently students lack involvement regarding mental health and wellbeing within universities. To execute the student element we aimed to build communities within universities to support the platform and create resources to be uploaded to the platform, that wont be just shared with their fellow students at their organisations but every university that is apart of the platform family. The vision of getting students at every university in the united Kingdom working together, with the platform at the heart, motivated every one of our team members to pave the way to better mental health.In 2023 the business was passed to the society Enactus at UWE so I could focus on my education.
