We believe that all young people should have the opportunity to lead creative lives, no matter their circumstances or needs.
Our Build project uses the arts to develop relationships, emotional literacy and communication skills of young people excluded from mainstream education.
Our organisation has a long track-record of working young people schooled in primary and secondary Pupil Referral Units (PRU’s) usually as a result of their previous school placement having broken down through ill health, behaviour issues or other difficulties. Many of the young people we work with have had adverse childhood experiences, often resulting in trauma and mental health needs.
Through collaborative engagement, our aim is to increase young people’s capacity for self-reflection, stress regulation and conflict resolution, developing transferrable skills through the arts.
