The Very Powerful Foundation grew out of a Positive Psychology coaching relationship that evolved into a partnership with a shared ambition to make opportunities for personal growth more accessible. Together, our co-founders developed a model that combines Positive Psychology coaching with meaningful activities. Workshops introduce ideas and practical tools, while shared activities create opportunities to explore those ideas, put them into practice and learn alongside others.

The first programmes centred around skateboarding and boxing because they had played an important role in one of the founders' own life. They became the starting point for a broader approach that uses accessible, low-barrier activities to bring people together. The activities themselves aren't the focus. They provide opportunities for expression, achievement and connection, creating experiences that reinforce the ideas explored through coaching and help people continue growing beyond the programme itself.

In 2024, the first Very Powerful Foundation pilot programme was launched with the support of friends, volunteers and partner organisations. Since then, VPF has continued to grow through the contribution of coaches, artists, athletes, volunteers, partners and participants.
