Creating Opportunity - Changing Lives
Creating Opportunity - Changing Lives
Since 1986 we have delivered hundreds of creative projects with thousands of people across Leicestershire. We use the arts to engage young people that are struggling to reach their potential because of family problems, difficulties in mainstream education or other issues which are holding back their personal and social development. Our projects, run in partnership with local agencies and businesses, unlock untapped potential, hidden depths and talent and are highly engaging and effective in making young people feel part of something and improving their aspirations for the future. The process of creating builds self-belief and confidence and through involvement in group projects generates a sense of belonging and feeling valued.
