The Hero Project UK

We are a non-for-profit youth mentoring organisation dedicated to inspiring and uplifting 14-25 year olds.

We believe every young person is already on a journey — a hero’s journey. Our approach to mentoring draws from some of the greatest wisdom ever written: myths, stories, and timeless ideas about resilience, growth, and self-discovery.

We Mentor and Inspire Young Adults:

We run powerful mentoring and coaching programmes that help you build emotional resilience, boost mental strength, and take control of your story. We team up with schools, youth orgs, and local legends to bring these programmes to life.

We Create Art & Educational Resources

We believe stories and art aren’t just for escape — they’re tools for transformation. Through books, videos, and bold visuals, we reframe mental health using metaphors, monsters, and heroic journeys that speak your language.

Youth Advocacy

We speak up, show up, and stand beside young people to raise awareness around the real challenges they face today — from mental health and identity, to trauma, stress, and stigma. Through this work, we aim to make mental health education accessible and empowering, helping young people build resilience, develop positive coping strategies, and realise their potential — regardless of background or circumstance.
