Getting Children Counting

We were commissioned by the University of Leicester to make a film aimed at parents and family friends to encourage them to do activities with young children to get them counting.

Family Flavour

The group got involved with all stages of film production including the acting.Family Flavour is a comedy drama which looks at generational expectations within Leicester’s Asian communities.

Melbourne Street Nature Garden

Over the summer of 2002 we worked with Friends of Melbourne Street Garden to refurbish the garden which we had helped to create four years previously.

Beaumont Trees

In the summer of 2004, about 200 trees were cut down at a site in Beaumont Leys known as Beaumont Walk, to improve access and visibility as part of the ‘Safe Neighbourhoods’ scheme. 

Shoot!

The Shoot! magazine and podcasts are peer education resources about gun and knife crime. Most of the young people who contributed had been involved in these types of crimes themselves, as perpetrators or victims.
