20 Years since we first stepped into schools.

Now we're looking for twenty schools to become

part of our history.

One Unforgettable U Can Shine Legacy

For two decades, U Can Shine has walked through school gates and witnessed

children's self doubt turn into courage, hesitation transform into an "I can do it attitude" and

ignite children's adversities into their superpowers.

What if the one thing your school is missing is the one thing your children will remember forever?

This is not an assembly. This is not a workshop.

This is a full-school day and immersion into courage, co-designed with your leadership team and woven directly into your timetable.

Your pupils will meet 'UMan' - the superhero who lives inside every child, waiting to be awakened.

Your school will echo with cheers, not silence. Your teachers will witness transformations they will speak of for years.

And when the day is done, you will not simply remember it.

You will be remembered for it.

"Ever since U Can Shine's come, it's changed my life a little bit,

Infact... it's changed a lot!"

Lewis, Age 8

Transformational Day

When you become a U Can Shine Legacy School, you receive more than a day.

You receive a complete transformational experience, meticulously designed for your school community.

The pupil experience:

· Meet UMan: An unforgettable encounter with the superhero who makes courage visible and self-belief tangible.

· Interactive Sessions: Motivational linked activities that turn abstract concepts like resilience into lived, physical experiences.

· Personal Resource: Every child receives their own toolkit to continue their confidence journey at home.

· Certificate of Courage: A permanent reminder that they are capable of more than they imagined.

The school experience:

· Special Recognition Awards: Pupils who exemplify the UMan spirit are celebrated in front of their peers - not for being the

best, but for going for it, persevering, and showing kindness.

· U Can Shine School Legacy Award: A permanent, prestigious award displayed in your school. A declaration that here, believing in yourself is the foundation of learning and life.

· Staff Empowerment: Your teachers receive resources and strategies to sustain the UMan mindset daily.

"I can unreservedly recommend Shaun to you as someone with an unwavering work ethic, charisma, empathy and vision. His coaching practices and programmes are pupil focused, proven and highly effective"

"Shaun with the Fierce & Fearless brand has been nothing short of exceptional in their consultation, planning and delivery in collaboration with RAF Recruiting and Selection. They were selected as the partner of choice following careful consideration and assessing the track record of numerous external providers in the education sector. Fierce & Fearless stood out because of the large number of young people they had successfully engaged with under the U Can Shine program and their previous focus on significant military anniversaries such as the Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary sessions. An inspirational and relatable facilitator Shaun has an outstanding ability to bring his sessions to life with innovative delivery techniques, and resources that set Fierce & Fearless apart from others. Our collaboration was a resounding success because of his personal and professional experience."

“Shaun has spent years working in some of the most disadvantaged and underserved areas in the UK- places where opportunities are scarce, and hope can feel like a luxury. Yet, through his actions, he has helped to change that narrative. Unfazed by the obstacles and challenges these environments present, Shaun has led initiatives that empower individuals and transform communities.”

Our involvement with Shaun this year has really helped us to embed the key qualities and characteristics within everything we do in school. The children recognise resilience in themselves and are building their inner confidence to try to be the best version of themselves at everything they attempt & learn. A must for every school, and more importantly every child.

"I have been a headteacher for over 25 years. I have seen countless programmes, initiatives, and interventions. U Can Shine was different. It didn't just occupy a day; it occupied our collective consciousness. Months later, children still ask: 'When is Shaun & UMan coming back?' That's not a booking. That's a transformation."

"My daughter has always lacked confidence and belief. New things terrify her. After U Can Shine had visited school, she asked to join the choir. The choir! She didn't become a different child - she became more of who she already was. UMan just helped her see it."

"Before U Can Shine and UMan came, I thought brave meant fighting. Now I know brave means trying when you're scared, saying sorry, and being kind even when no one is watching. I keep my certificate by my bed."

"The impact U Can Shine had on our children was phenomenal. Suddenly, children were keen to share their dreams and ambitions for the future. The motivational day ended but the 'UMan moments.' continued. The 'Attitude = Altitude' culture shift, particularly in our boys, the impact has been massive"

I have known Shaun for over 15 years, and he has always put young people's emotional development as his foremost priority, and has afforded children the opportunity to develop and learn to believe in their abilities. But most of all - believe in themselves and what their capabilities are. My daughter Leia worked with U Can Shine building confidence, resilience, overcoming adversity and he has continued following her journey from the age of 8yrs old to where she is now - 22yrs old and has studied at Oxford University, and now at St Andrews.

Working with Shaun has been nothing short of transformative for my son, Cameron. From the very beginning, Shaun’s guidance, authenticity, and unwavering support have made a remarkable impact —not only in helping Cameron navigate his own mental health journey but also in empowering him to become a strong advocate for men's mental health. Cameron is inspired by the way Shaun leads with purpose and resilience. In the short time of knowing Shaun, it is clear that he meets young people where they are, then helps lift them to where they’re truly capable of going. Through his mentorship, Cameron has grown in confidence, clarity and courage — traits that now ripple into every area of his life.
