People: Supporting young people to fulfil their potential
We want to pay professionals to run a young creative leadership project with young people, with the aim of organising social action events for their communities about issues they care about.
About this cause
We're a group who wants to help people be motivated, engaged and able to bring their unique abilities to help make the world a little bit better. Our main beneficiaries are children and young people aged 7-25 in Northumberland and North East England. We deliver theatre and drama activities that support children and young people to improve personal skills, creativity, wellbeing and mental health.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The young leaders project will support local young people to organise projects, events and activities that support their peers and local communities. Activities will use creativity and culture to support current issues such as LGBTQIA+ awareness, disability inclusion, mental health support, and building confidence and friendships. Examples include family wellbeing workshops and panel discussions.
