Challenges Facing Girls Aged 10-16 in London Boroughs
Mental & Emotional Well-Being
Many girls experience anxiety, self-esteem issues, and lack of confidence, making safe spaces like Project Motiv8 crucial.
Physical Health
With reduced access to recreational activities, many young girls struggle with maintaining physical fitness and healthy habits.
Community & Belonging
Social pressures and digital distractions have limited positive in-person interactions, increasing isolation among young people.
Lack of Role Models
Many young girls lack mentors and guidance, impacting their ability to develop self-awareness and goal-setting skills.
Project Motiv8 addresses these issues by integrating structured mentorship with physical activity, fostering holistic well-being.

Founder’s Story
Hi, my name is Katrina Thomas, and I am a passionate coach and the visionary founder of UDA (Be Unique, Dream Big, and Stay Ambitious). My extensive experience as a school specialist dance and gymnastics coach helped me recognise physical education’s profound impact on students’ well-being.
My commitment to a holistic approach ignited a transformation that led to the development of “Route to Raising Aspirations,” a four-step mentoring framework that pairs physical activity with personal growth.
Over the last eight years, I’ve worked with over 2,000 children, directly witnessing the remarkable positive influence that holistic mentoring can have on their confidence and well-being.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated and performed alongside renowned organisations, including:
British Gymnastics
Prince’s Trust
Impact Urban Health
South Bank University
Gymbox
Their trust and admiration led to various youth work and mentoring opportunities, reinforcing the value of my expertise. But today, my true passion lies in helping young people embrace a holistic approach to well-being. As a parent and a youth worker, I understand the importance of building resilience and empowering the next generation.
