NEU Wellbeing Ltd is a Leicester-based social enterprise on a mission to make Positive Wellbeing for All a reality. We believe that strong communities are built on strong people — and that wellbeing should never be a luxury.
Our work focuses on improving mental, emotional, social, physical, creative, and environmental wellbeing through evidence-based training, trauma-informed practice, and lived experience. We bring together educators, community leaders, and people who have rebuilt their lives after trauma or exclusion, creating programmes that are practical, relatable, and deeply human.
The NEU approach grew from years of experience in education, mental health, and rehabilitation. Our co-founders include a former Head of Year and Alternative Provision lead who implemented trauma-informed practices in schools, and two men who rebuilt their lives after prison and now use their experiences to inspire others. Together, they created a wellbeing model that bridges research with real life — using neuroscience, psychology, and empathy to help people understand themselves and each other.
We’ve delivered wellbeing and resilience programmes in schools, community hubs, workplaces, and prisons. Each session gives participants tools to manage stress, build self-awareness, and strengthen relationships. Feedback from hundreds of people shows the same results: improved confidence, better coping skills, and a renewed sense of purpose and belonging.
NEU’s philosophy is simple — Now Everybody Unite. When people feel safe, valued, and supported, they thrive. Our sessions are designed to remove stigma, open up honest conversations, and help individuals see that they already have the capacity to create positive change.
As a social enterprise, we reinvest our income into community wellbeing projects like this one — expanding access to support for people who might not otherwise find it. We also provide affordable training for organisations and charities to make their own spaces more trauma-aware, resilient, and connected.
What makes us different is our use of lived experience alongside professional expertise. Our facilitators are real people with real stories — survivors, carers, teachers, and ex-offenders — who use their journeys to build empathy and hope. By blending those voices with evidence-based practice, we reach people who might not engage with traditional services and show them that change is possible.
