Ambition in Mind CIC
A place in Walsall where young people and families get noticed.
Ambition in Mind is a community hub at Unit 13 Old Square, Walsall, WS1 1PY. We help young people and families build confidence, skills and a way forward, at their own pace, in a place that feels like somewhere you actually want to be.
01
Who we're here for
Not every young person is in trouble, and not every young person is top of the class. Plenty sit in the middle: quiet, getting by, easy to overlook. Then something shifts, and nobody saw it coming. We're here for those young people, and for the families and carers around them.
02
What we do
Free taster programmes
Short, no-pressure sessions that let people try something new. We've run these with the DWP and Walsall Youth Justice Service.
Skills and enterprise for young adults
Practical sessions on digital confidence, money, and starting something of your own, run at the hub alongside our partner SEVN.
03
How we work
Trust first.
People move forward when they feel known, so we start with conversation, not coursework.
Shaped by the people we serve.
We ask parents and keyworkers in the area what they need before we decide what to run.
Homely, not institutional.
The hub is somewhere calm, welcoming and easy to walk into.
Honest about what works.
We track the progress people make, so we can show what is helping and what isn't.
