My Wellbeing Space CIC – AQA Unit Award Scheme Centre
🎓 Recognising Learning. Celebrating Achievement. Creating Opportunities
Becoming an AQA Unit Award Scheme Centre marks an important step in the growth of My Wellbeing Space CIC and strengthens our commitment to creating meaningful learning opportunities for women, children and young people.
Our Unit Award Scheme offers a flexible and accessible approach to learning, without traditional examinations. Learners can work at their own pace and receive an AQA certificate for each unit they successfully complete. Learning can be embedded across a wide range of activities, including Wellbeing, Creativity, Youth Leadership, Work Experience, Women’s Upskilling and Personal Development.
We recognise that everyone learns differently. Our inclusive approach supports a range of learning needs, including SEND, with opportunities to learn through visual, verbal, practical and hands-on experiences. Learners can be given the time, encouragement and approach they need to demonstrate their skills and achievements.
For MWS, our centre is about more than gaining certificates. It is about removing barriers to learning, building confidence and helping people recognise what they are capable of, while creating a record of achievement that can support their future.
🔓 Learning Without Limits
By embedding accredited learning within our community programmes, we connect learning, practical experience and personal development with recognised achievement — creating pathways towards further education, training, volunteering and employment.
Our Partners and Supporters
🤝 Partnership Makes Progress Possible
Our AQA Unit Award Scheme Centre has been strengthened by the support, expertise and commitment of organisations that share our belief in creating meaningful opportunities for our community.
We extend our sincere thanks to Countryside Properties and The Phoenix Way, whose funding helped us establish our centre and begin delivering accredited learning. Their support has enabled us to create welcoming and inclusive opportunities where participants can develop skills, build confidence and have their achievements formally recognised.
We are also grateful to Oasis Academy Hadley for providing space for our Homework Club and supporting students to access work-experience opportunities. This partnership has helped us bring accredited learning directly into a familiar environment where young people can feel supported to learn and progress.
Our thanks also go to PowerBoxFitness, whose coaches deliver boxing sessions for young people at Ponders End Youth & Family Hub. Their expertise and encouragement help learners develop discipline, resilience, confidence and self-belief while working towards AQA recognition.
🎓 From Learning to Recognised Achievement
Our first AQA-accredited opportunities have included Homework Club, work experience, boxing and creative workshops. By embedding learning within activities people are already engaging with, participants can develop practical skills, recognise their progress and work towards meaningful achievements.
Learners receive an AQA certificate for each unit they successfully complete, creating a growing portfolio of evidence that reflects their individual learning journey. These achievements can support future progression into education, training, volunteering and employment, as well as providing evidence of skills and experience for CVs, applications and personal statements.
Our approach enables learners to gain recognition for a wide range of skills and knowledge without the pressure of traditional examinations, helping to make achievement more accessible, inclusive and meaningful.
✨ Learning is celebrated. Progress is recognised. Every achievement counts.
Celebrating Our First AQA-Accredited Boxing Cohort
We We are proud to share highlights from multiple cohorts of learners who have achieved their AQA certificates in boxing, delivered in partnership with the coaches from PowerBox Fitness at Ponders End Youth and Family Hub.
These sessions demonstrate how physical activity, discipline, and personal development can be recognised through accredited achievement.
The boxing programme provides a positive, purposeful space where young people can channel their energy, build routine and resilience, and develop confidence in a safe and supportive environment. By offering engaging, accredited activities within the community, the programme supports young people to stay connected to positive pathways, build their wellbeing, and work towards future opportunities.
